Subject: half shaft removal

Date: 	Sun, 14 Dec 1997 18:59:07 +0000



howdy guys:

I have removed my half shafts many times over the years but today while

doing so I figured one of you may know a better way.  I have always 

wound up removing the studs by the transaxle (a pain) because the 

half shaft would not compress enough to clear the bolts. I do remove

the zerk fitting to allow the excess grease to escape. Is it my car 

or me or is this just the way it is.  ALSO, there are lock washers under

the lock nuts which fit poorly. It looks as though someone put then

there to keep the nut to keep the nuts from biting into the flange. 

Surely a small O.D. flat washer that fit the spotfaced location would

be preffered in my mind. Any thoughts?



thanks, John Haas
