Default New CV axle installation

like the title says guys, I need to install a new axle in my 2004 mazda 6. I've done work similar to this in other cars but is this one special of any kind? does anyone know of a write up for it??

Thanks in advance!!

Pedro

I'd say, if you have the experience of other axles, go for it!! I admit I haven't yet had to do one myself, but really, how hard could it be?

Let us know how you make out. My mechanic who did my engine replacement had a very hard time with the axle. I think he ended up having to take off a control arm.
What kind of symptoms are you getting that you need new axle?

+1. But why would the LS be harder than the Right? Any ideas?

Its mainly bc the right one goes straight to the transmission i believe.
