This is for the driver side CV joint, not passenger side, and does not discuss transmission fluid catch pan needed. Careful on the stabilizer link (6mm hex). Even with soaking the link threads-nut in penetrating fluid, wasn’t enough (not rusted and not in salted area) without stripping the 6mm out even when tool was securely bottomed out and secure in the hex hole.
Good info. I'm not even sure why they showed here to remove the stabilizer links and the spindle from the ball joint? I recently did my drivers side cv axle and did not do this and got the axle out fine. I guess Haines wants these added steps, so no harm no foul. Plus, as you mentioned, no talk of the loss of trans fluid when the axle is pulled. This is pretty important. No one wants a few qts of trans fluid all over the ground where they're working, or to not replace it and ruin the trans afterward. Maybe it's in the manual, who knows?
You make it look so easy. Thank you

so if you AWD and rear wheel ...not for you
Naturally I search how to replace a rear axle seal and I get this. Imagine that 🤬
