Can anyone give me an overlay of what the cv joint diagram looks like and what I will have to deal with? Thanks!

Edit: I own a 1998 Hyundai Tiburon

Another Edit: Or just a DIY guide on how to change a cv joint for the front driver side.

 

What are wanting to do ?

Remove axle from car for replacement ?

Remove axle from car and re-boot the axle assembly (inner/outer or both) ?

Which side, left or right ?

 

Front Driver side - Remove the axle for replacement.

 

Remove wheel

Remove axle nut at center of hub

Remove ball joint nut, crack the side of knuckle at the ball joint to pop joint loose from knuckle, seperate the 2 so you can pull axle stub from hub.

Pop inner joint from drive unit (large screwdriver betwen joint and case works) dont damage the seal when popping axle loose, or when pulling axle out.

Fluid pill likely pour out of opening....

Align splines of new shaft straight into the drive unit (rotate slightly to feel the splines properly aligned), hold joint straight, and use axle shaft and slap the joint into place..

Install outer stub into hub, assemble knuckle to ball joint, tighten all.

Correct the trans oil level with proper fluid if you lost any when axle pulled out.

 

hmmm think u could hook me up with pics of that?

 

Hyundai site does not offer me pics, even in the dealer portion of the site.

 

Thanks man
