    I have an '04 GP 256k on the clock. Looks like I have a leaking input shaft seal and wanted to know the difficulty in replacing. I've done quite a bit and realize this would mean taking the tire, caliper, tie rod end, lower strut bolts, axle nut all off. I wasn't sure how difficult it is to physically remove the axle or put it back in. There are some good vids on youtube with other cars, but it would appear its somewhat straightforward.

    Let me know if there's anything to look out for, this would be the passenger side axle as well too.

    Other than a pickle fork or tie rod breaker tool, anything specialized I need. I have the seal remover.

    Thanks.

    Remove tire
    unbolt brake line from body 10mm
    Remove axle nut 35/36mm
    remove ball joint cotter pin
    Remove 18mm ball joint castle nut
    Pop ball joint
    Pull knuckle forward and slide axle out of hub
    hold knuckle out of way and use a tool to give the inside cv cup a quick tug.

    Axle is out and you are ready to do your seal
