Question 2

How to replace the wheel axle shaft on Chevrolet Malibu?

Accepted Answer

Start your wheel drive shaft replacement by first raising and safely supporting the vehicle before taking off the wheel and tire. After you remove the front wheel drive shaft nut use tools to disconnect the outer tie rod assembly from the Steering Knuckle followed by separation of the Ball Joint from the Steering Knuckle. The hub spindle remover (J 42129) allows users to disconnect the front wheel drive axle from the bearing while protecting thread integrity by installing the nut partially. Insert the wheel drive shaft into the transaxle after removing it with Axle Shaft remover (J 33008-A) combined with Axle Shaft remover extension (J 29794) and slide hammer (J 2619-01). Installation begins with driving the wheel drive shaft inside the transaxle but requires checking the front wheel drive shaft retaining ring installation by pulling on the inner housing while avoiding the front wheel drive Axle Shaft. Satisfactory installation requires insertion of the front wheel drive shaft into the front Wheel Bearing while the Ball Joint returns to the Steering Knuckle and the outer tie rod assembly connects to the Steering Knuckle. Secure a new wheel drive shaft nut then prevent rotor movement through the use of a drift or flat-bladed tool before tightening it to 215 nm (159 ft. Lbs.). Install the wheel and tire after lowering the vehicle and check transaxle fluid level together with wheel alignment.

Question 3

How to Replace the Front Axle Shaft (S4WD) Inner Shaft and Housing on Chevrolet S10?

Accepted Answer

Replacing front Axle Shaft (S4WD) inner shaft or housing starts with vehicle lifting. First disconnect the wheel Axle Shaft from the right side of the vehicle along with the Clutch Cable from the Clutch Fork. Begin by removing bolts and washers from the inner Axle Shaft housing before proceeding to remove the remaining two inner Axle Shaft housing to differential carrier assembly bolts. During removal make sure thrust washers and Clutch Fork sleeve remain secure with the inner Axle Shaft. Use a vise to clamp down the inner shaft housing before striking the inside of the Axle Shaft with a hammer and brass drift to extract the assembly from the Axle Shaft. Remove the Clutch Cable retainer spring followed by the Clutch Fork assembly then Clutch Fork inner spring and Clutch Fork sleeve and thrust washer and clutch gear. To replace the inner Axle Shaft bearing and seal insert them into the axle housing after using a punch tool to remove the clutch gear, thrust washer, inner Axle Shaft, and Clutch Fork seal. Use the j33799 Clutch Fork housing seal installer (J33799) to set the new Clutch Fork seal before placing the inner Axle Shaft inside the housing and adding the thrust washer. Secure the thrust washer with chassis grease. Drive the clutch gear onto the inner Axle Shaft by using a plastic hammer after installing the new retaining ring into the clutch gear. Afterward add the thrust washer together with Clutch Fork inner spring, Clutch Fork, Clutch Fork sleeve, and Clutch Cable retainer spring to the inner Axle Shaft housing. Sealant gm p/n 1052492 or its equivalent must be applied to the inner axle housing differential carrier interface before attaching the housing assembly to the differential carrier with finger-tight bolt placement at the 1 o'clock position then positioning the housing to install the 11 o'clock position bolt also finger tight. First install the Clutch Cable housing and Clutch Cable before using bolts and washers and nuts to secure the inner Axle Shaft housing to the frame bracket. Tighten the frame bracket nuts to 98 nm (72 ft. Lbs.) and the housing to differential carrier assembly bolts to 48 nm (36 ft. Lbs.). Last, install the right Axle Shaft then check the axle lubricant levels before lowering the vehicle.
