I just did this yesterday.
- Take wheel off
- Take big axle nut off (this may be hard, those suckers are tight)
- Take brake caliper off
- Take brake rotor off
- Take 3 bolts for wheel bearing/hub assembly out, pull assembly out. Check for play, this may be a good thing to replace while you're in there.
- Take backing plate off
- Depending on where the shaft snapped, you may have to take the mount off. If you do, take the cotter pins off. There's two nuts, top and bottom. Just hit it with a hammer till it finally comes loose. They like to stick there.
- Undo six bolts on inner flange. You should be able to get at it pretty good with a long extension. If they don't wanna come loose, hit 'em with some penetrating oil. An impact might also do the trick. Just keep working at them. It may help to rotate the axle around to better get at these bolts as you go around.
- You may need to pull off the rubber bumper there, depending on where it's broken. It just pulls off.
- Pull CV axle assembly out of the truck. Napa sells the CV axles for around $50.
Make sure you check the wheel seal (mine there was only the metal ring left, might as well replace it while you've got her apart. If you don't, you'll kill your bearing/hub assembly. They are $10 at napa), and the hub assembly. The hub assembly can be checked by putting it in a vice and trying to get any lateral movement. If you get any, replace it. They're $80 at napa. Mine was completely shelled out, and fell apart as i remove the rotor. Also, when putting the slide bolts back into the caliper, make sure to lubricate them with SliGlide or some sort of high temp caliper lubricant. Otherwise they'll freeze up, you'll wear down your inner pad extra, and you'll lose braking power.
What else can I help you with?
