manufacturer does not provide a specific computer relearn procedure for obtaining proper driveability . if the battery was disconnected or replaced , driving the vehicle will enable the computer to preform a relearn procedure for obtaining proper driveability , driveability may differ from what you are used to until computer has fully completed the relearn procedure . cheers

There is a panel inside the wheel well that you can take off that gives you perfect access to the harmonic balancer. A special tool is required. i had my dad make one because he has access to whatever he needs at the factory. but you can get them at the dealer. i have no clue how much they cost. I can't see any way of doing it without the special tool. after you get the tool its pretty simple to get off. it takes alot of force to break the bolt loose though. i used the handle off my jack as a cheater bar. hope this helps...

this is like every other rear axle they are all built close to the same, you need to pull the wheels, remove the pumkin housing in the center of the axle, inside you will find 2 ring gears with a shaft that goes from top to bottom, on one end there is a cross bolt remove it, then the shaft will slide out and the gears can be removed, not push one axle at a time twords the middle, you will find a horseshoe clip on the end
remove it and that alxe will slide out the end
repeat on the other side, and there you go axles out...
