I don't think anyone here knows your mechanical ability, what tools you have, what facilities you have so without that information it will be hard for us to tell you whether you can or cannot do the above mentioned questions.

There are three things about swapping axles that can be difficult.
1) breaking the axle bolt free, breaker bar makes this easier
2) seperating the lower ball joint, there is a neat trick to this
3) prying the axle from the intermediate shaft or tranny

If you get past these, its all a breeze. Takes me about 45 minutes per side if everything goes smoothly.

 

Any guess on cost ?? If taken to a shop ... I know all shops probley will charge different ..

But anyone have this done lately? or guess

gracias so yur sayin like an hour of labor?

 

so im probly gonna get it done at this place called alignment specialties. im assumign liek an hour of labor for each side? that sound right?

 

its the easiest job bro dont pay those guys for work u can do on ur driveway just make sure u have sockets with and a axel nut breaker with a 30 something MM i forgot.. and also dont forget to get new couder pins so when u put the ball joint back in u can slide those in.. Ohh yea also just remembered the axels usually come off with a plastic peice on the break side so make sure u only have one on ther because i had two on it and it wouldent grab it just slid like it was in neutral

 

thanx i did it today its all good

 

How much did it cost ya ? Did it yourself ?

 

free.95 i got it done by a family friend he said it would been about 1.5 hours of labor
