The axle has a flange on the front diff and a long splined shaft in the hub.
The problem is to get enough slack to work it out of the A-arms past the sway bar and the shock mount.
Manuals and online tutorials have come up with about 6 ways to try it, some requiring re-alignment, cutting the sway bar and worse.
We totally trashed the old one removing it, but the new one slipped right in. I'll reveal our technique for a negotiated fee.
We also encountered "cone washers," a new one on me after 60 years of wrenching.
