Remove LCR To Replace Axles/Boots
Just did a quick search, so not certain if this has been posted before, but rather than removing the Strut to Knuckle assembly, which will change alignment, or trying to remove the Ball Joint from the Knuckle, I decided to just remove the LCA. Raised the car, disconnected the stabilizer link on the LCR, then removed the 6 bolts and dropped the LCA out of the way. Pulled the left side axle, replaced the boot then went to the right side. The bearing was a bear as it was frozen in the support, but used a little heat and out it came. The boot kits were only $12.50 each from Napa, so the daughter was happy with the savings.
Only caution is that during reinstallation, the suspension should be loaded before final tightening of the LCA and stabilizer bar.
