One word of advice above anything else. If you remove the broken CV shaft, put the stub back in because it is what holds your unit bearing assembly together. Without the stub you'll go 50ft and the wheel will fall off. Ask me how I know.  |

Another helpful tidbit. When you have the bolts removed from the backside of the unit bearing, get the BFH and tap it on alternating sides. It's somewhat of a press fit and the bolts just jeep it there. Takes some work to get it out of the knuckle, especially if you've never removed one before. Or I guess you could take the knuckle loose at a balljoint to get the shaft out. I don't remember, plus my experience was with s-series, but it's all the same just bigger on a foolsize. But like everyone said, solid axle is the real answer, haha.
