September 3, 200817 yr Im changing a cv axle on the 83 brat turbo and i had a few questions. Where is the best place to purchase one? Will i be able to do this job with a Chiltons manual? Is there anything different about changing an axle on a turbo model than a gl?
September 3, 200817 yr Im changing a cv axle on the 83 brat turbo and i had a few questions. Where is the best place to purchase one? Will i be able to do this job with a Chiltons manual? Is there anything different about changing an axle on a turbo model than a gl? Should be a be to get one at any auto parts store but it will probably be a remanufactured one. You should be able to use the manual its pretty straight forward. And no it should be the same as changing one on a GL the splines are different but as long as you get a turbo cv axle than you won't have to worry about that!! Hope that helps
September 3, 200817 yr Just did one this weekend on a GL Brat. Got the shaft from NAPA. Fit correctly and no clicking. I think it was $65. As long as you're rooting around you may as well change the ball joint. That was $18 at NAPA. Both parts had to be ordered and they were in the next day. As posted by member General Disorder: Roll pin. Inner control arm bolt. Sway bar link. Pull axle off tranny. Drive axle out of knuckle. Reverse for installation.
