So I'm about to start the tear down of the rear end to swap out the axle that has a blown CV joint.
But the issue I will have is how do I keep the axle from turning while I try to loosen the Axle bolt's out of the Transmission? Any Tips? I really want to make it to the ECC so I have to get this swap done as quickly as possible. Thanks in Advance. |

The CV bolts shoud be torqued down to 31ft lbs. I don't see why you are worried about the axle or flanges turning while you remove it. I usually undo my CV's while rolling the axle, rotate untill a bolt is at the 7 o'clock position, remove, turn the axle to the next bolt at the same 7 o'clock position and on and on until it is removed. THe only indexing that needs to be worried about is the roll pins into the flanges - and you can rotate the axle, turn the wheel or turn the trans flange to get there. No secret magic required.
