Has anyone replaced the driver's side (left) halfshaft on an American built 1991 Corolla, 4afe, ae94?
A couple questions about it:
It looks like the most difficult part will be removing the connecting rod from the steering knuckle and removing the lower control arm from the steering knuckle.. Do you need a lot of physical strength to do this??
1. Do you need any special tools aside from a ball joint puller?
2. How do you know if you need to replace the oil seal on the manual transaxle (where the axle connects)?
3. Can you reuse cotter pins or is it a good idea to have a couple replacement ones?
Any other advice/hints regarding this procedure are appreciated. Also if you know of any links that show a step by step procedure and/or pictures please send them to me!
Thank you
Jen
