    its takes some time to do... I replaced my epc a few months ago... I don't have a write up or anything because my brother is the one that changed it. I know the epc is on the side though and of course the trans needed to be dropped as well as one of the axles. Labor costs of this job are through the roof. It wasn't that hard to do, just takes time. If you do it yourself you'll save a good $800+.

    ya im in the process of doing it right now, except i dont have a socket big enough to remove the spindle to get the axle off. So i went to napa and they said they had no idea what size it but they said a 32mm would fit, that costs $28.95 so i bought it and it didn't even fit it was too small. Does anyone know the correct size to remove the spindle to get the axle off?

    Damn, I was quoted arounf $400 from mr transmission. I thought $400 is bad, $800 would be crazy!
