My Driver's side axle shaft is in need of replacement.
The U-joint started barking really good in the mud today, and the standard assess the damage walk around revealed a leaking axle seal on the same side.
I have never changed one on a XJ before.
On the Ford, all it took was, remove wheel,caliper,hub. Slide the shaft back and then down and out. Then reverse it.
I know the solid axle tube makes a difference but does it make a huge one?
Any other work I should do when I have everything apart?
Any special tools required?
