Auto Repair?

1994 Chevy Corsica CV Joint Replacement

Of course jack up and safetly support the car block the wheels. Remove the wheel. Remove the large nut in the center of the brake rotor (this is gonna be TIGHT!!!!!!!!) you are likely going to need air tools 1/2" impact air wrench Take the lower ball joint cotter pin (if applicable) remove the nut for the lower ball joint using a ball joint seperator tool Air Powered recommended. Lift up on the now loosened steering knuckle. Pull it up and to one side and at the same time pukk the CV axle out of the hub. Now using a large prybar pry the other end of the Axle out of the Transmission Transmission fluid may leak out so catch it in something. Replace the new axke in the transmission end first making sure its straight and push it in until it "clicks" in place you may need to tap it on the other end with a lock of wood and a plastic hammer to not damage the splines. then once the end is in the transmission ccleand and lightly luge the female splines in the hub and put the other end in the hub and work it in fully. Replace the remainder o the previously disasssembled parts as you took them off double check your work and install any cotter pins as needed.

CV joint is a pretty simple deal,……………………….you can buy a whole new drive axle. It will have a new CV joint already pressed in. They are not had to replace. If your mechanic removes the lower arm from the ball joint you will not even need a front end alignment. cost on new drive axles vary from car to car, Call auto zone,advanced auto,napa, or what ever parts store is near you. Should cost you around 40-60 bucks. Thank You, Rob in PA.
