Im going to replace the left front axle in my 98 626 6cyl. My first axle replacement in awhile. will there be any suprizes? Does the inner tulip "snap"out of the transmission? when i replaced the right side 2 years ago i had a hard time freeing the outer joint from inside the hub. Was that just a fluke or can i expect the same problem? thanks for the resopnses... just trying to prepare my self, this forum has really helped me alot.
