SilverSubie Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 The cv boots split on the 96 Legacy, and I figure I just might as well replace the entire half shaft (front passenger). Though I was looking through the manual, and I am missing a couple tools. Where would be a good place to either buy or rent the axel remover and ball joint tool?

lmdew Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Nothing needed for the axle. Just pull it out. The inner joint, you need a pin punch to drive out the pin. The balljoint does not need to come out completely. Just pull the bottom strut bolt, drop the torsion bar link and you can pry down the A-arm. That way you do not have to get a new alingnment.

Olnick Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 SilverSubie--do a search here on the board. Edrach (the axle guru!) did an excellent writeup of the procedure a while back. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
