conley3.1 Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 I have to take off the side-pan of my transmission, its a 4T60, in a 92 Lumina. To do this, I was told i'd have to take off the driver's side half shaft. What parts/special tools will I need to do this? I already know I need to get a hub socket, but what size will I need to buy? Will I have to replace the gasket on the side pan, and will I have to use axle grease when taking out the halfshaft? Quote
PaPaPooh Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 um no special tools needed i guess over 1" socket for the axle nut all you have to do is break the axle nut loose this helps because 150-220 ft lbs torque is easier on the ground to break loose (i can't remember if this is nessecary just to do the side pan) support the car take the nut and bolt on the ball joint out (IIRC about this) take a pry bar and hammer pry the control arm down while tapping the hub that surrounds the balljoint after that pry the axle out of the trans with the pry bar inbetween the trans and the cv joint hope this helps and good luck Quote
