I will add to that, if you rotate the assembled piece upside down, then remove the nut holding the motormount to the chassis, this makes is very simple to move the two pieces out and to put them back in. Then, when I was knocking my axle out of the carrier, it took two guys, with the same hammer as you, over a half hour to get the shaft out and the seized race!!! Simply nuts!

This really helped me with my axle replacement. However I have a couple of extra points to add. First off, I didnt see this until AFTER I got stuck at the axle removal. THen I found out this thing is seized. I tried heat, pronged separators, slide hammers, PB blaster, Kroil, and variations of them with each other with no avail.

@jeremcfadden for anyone other than the war vet troll the price shipped, (no core charges needed) is right about $55 depending on where you live

@jeremcfadden I checked rockauto and it would cost me 51 plus 20 bucks for shipping which means I lose 20 bucks due to rockauto is not close . 20 bucks is a lot to me as I am a disabled vet . I wish I could find one no core charge local and only cost 51 bucks .

@ncrdisabled I got mine from rockauto no need for the core and the whole cost was right around 51 dollars
Good job; but hard work. Good to be young.

then another 15 minutes to clean the metal of all burrs and corrosion which was aplenty! Great job on the video, but if you decide to redo it, add the removal of the assembly for greater impact on those using your video as a resource!

@sgtduckyboy64 yes i totally know what you are talking about with how much work it is normally to get the midshaft bearing out of the motormount. all of the cars i have done in the past were very similar to what you described. unfortunatly the car i used to make the video was fairly easy...prob becase the car ahad a severe oil leak and was constantly soaking down the bearing and mount. glad you got it done, and thanks for watching.

I have one problem with cutting the cv axle I had to pay a 51 buck core charge and if I cut i I lose the money. I am a disabled VET so even a few bucks is a lot to me and my family. How can it be done without cutting it?

@ncrdisabled hi, if you can get the car up high enough, you mite be able to position the axle in the right spot to be able to remove it. otherwise, i know some places out there (or there used to be) that didn't have a core charge on them. good luck and thanks for watching.
