soooo....I was flat on my back in the driveway, changing the oil, when I noticed dark grease all over the inside of the front passenger side wheel...guess that split CV boot split a little more since inspection at my local indy last week...they did point this out to me...axle is original to car, with 120k of service..was going to use Axles Unlimited, as recommended by so many Brickers,but....went to their website, seems they only deal with businesses, and don't sell direct to the consumer...my choices as I see them....have my local indy order from them, and install...or...get a new one at NAPA, and install myself...I like the fact AU offers a lifetime warranty( I intend to run this ride a looooong time), but this will set me back 3-4 hundred...I've never changed an axle out, had local indy replace the drivers side, seemed stuck in tranny...does passenger side just slide out?, or some sort of puller needed?...600 mile roadtrip in two weeks, so I gotta figure this one out quick...

As always, all responses/info are greatly appreciated!
