Not at the moment. I’ve had my hands full with other repairs (radiator replacement, ignition switch replacement, horn cleaning, adding a tachometer, replacing the temperature gauge, etc.) for weeks. I still need to grease both wheel bearings, lubricator the car, and change the oil.
I was fortunate enough to work from home during the COVID-19 stuff; so, I’m only working on the car on evenings and weekends. Plus, since I’m new at this, I’ve been moving slow in hopes of not making any major mistakes.
Changing out an axle is above my current skill set.
I presume you have changed out a number of axles. Based on your experience, how long does it take?
