And this is why I would prefer to not remove the driver side axle...




Be that as it may, given the risks, I will probably just suck it up, and reposition the car so I can get to the driver side axle and push out the passenger axle from within as you gentlemen have recommended.

Question, do I need to drain the tranny fluid? Also, you guys mentioned how to get the broken axle out, but how about installing a replacement? I am new at this.

I will update accordingly.

thanks,
