    Default Need shop to replace axle

    I'm looking for a shop to replace the driver side axle on my 94 Acura Integra GSR. The axle came out completely Friday night in front my house. I can have the vehicle towed wherever it needs to go. Options?

    buy a replacement axle from napa, a 32mm socket, and a puller to remove the lower ball joint.

    easy greasy and take bout 30 minutes.

    Yeah, I'm kind of mechanically retarded so I don't know if that's possible.

    Basically any tire shop besides Discount Tires could do this for you. I would have Bucky do it for me if I were in your position, and call Autozone, Advanced, and Napa to see who has the best price on a reman'd axle.

    if you diy beware of the factory torque specs on the axle nut you'll need alot of muscle or leverage. maybe even both. you don't have to be very mechanically inclined to do it. can prob find a easy how to.
