How do I remove the front axle off? I do not know car part names, so pictures would help or please be very detailed on what it looks like, thank you

Hello fcdallas10: My name is Roger and I will help you. To locate the camshaft position sensor look at the front of the motor. Look at the area in front of the intale manifold and behind the water pump.You should see a sensor that bolts down into the front top of the block. This will be the camshaft sensor. The repair book says you will need to remove the power steering pump to gain access to the sensor. I would send a picture but the picture is larger than allowed to send. Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the answer. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

HI, my name is Ray. I don't have any pics but I think I can talk you through this ok. First you should remove the cover from the rear differential. Have a pan ready to catch the oil. There will be a couple qts. Remove the ten or twelve bolts with a 13mm socket starting at bottom and working up. Next jack up the side you want to change and block securely. Remove the wheel, brake caliper, (wire it up as not to stretch the hose) and rotor. Now back to the center of differential. Look for a shiney rod about 3/4" diameter and 3-4 in. long. It sits perpindicular to axles and about center of gear cluster. It runs through a spyder gear at each end. Now look for a small bolt at one end of the rod that holds it in. Remove bolt with a 5/16 or 8 mm wrench. You should be able to rotate the ring gear to get the bolt in position. The bolt is very tight so you may need to hit the wrench with hammer to lossen it. once removed, slide the rod down out of cluster and place on clean surface. Now go to outside and push end of axle inward til it stops. Go back underneath and look for end of axle shaft. There is a 'C' clip which holds it in. Remove this, (a magnet works well sometimes) and go to outside and pull axle out. The seal is in outer end of housing. Remove and replace it and reassemble. Good Luck.

real simple,,, axles are drivers side or passenger side

Hello ghansen31: My name is Roger and I will help you. Yes the front axle shafts are called half shafts.The left half shaft would be the driver side shaft. You should be able to buy from the part store or salvage yard. Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the answer. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

Hello chrisz28: My name is Roger and I will help with your question. Most problems that cause a wheel to lock up are associated with brake problems. Look at the wheel in question. Do you see any grease or liquid on it or the backing plate. If it is wet or looks damp you will need to remove the tire and wheel in order to remove the brake drum. After the drum is removed look at the brakes are they coated in liquid or in heavy oily grease. Liquid would be brake fluid, heavy oil would be axle grease. Axle gear lube would also be slimy and caked on everything. The axle grease would be a bad bearing and axle seal and most likely a bad axle. Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the answer. Thank You for using and trusting Fix Ya. Roger
