cv joint/axle replacement

[toeknee0ta]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anybody knows where I could get a new axle for my 03 echo? I believe the cv joint is gone out on it.

also what tools would i need other than wrenches, jack, and stands?

any other tips would be appretiated

there are places that rebuild them,(cheapest) all tou will need is a 17 and a 3something for the axel(im not shure exacly the size)pry bar,loosen axel nut and remove bolts to ball joint,pry the ball joint out(dont have to disconect it from spindal)just the lower table,tap the axel out towards the tranny,then pry between the tranny and inner shaft just keep trying it will pop out,you may want to tap in a new axel seal in the tranny,take the new axel and have the c clip faceing up gently tap it in without screwing up the new shaft threads with the hamer,you should be good from there
