93 Storm - Changing Drive Axles

[cardriver]

Ok, I know it's not very hard to change the axles in this car, but there are a few things to watch out for that I can't exactly remeber... I've changed these before, about 5 years ago, with a little help from a friend.

Is there something in the diff that is not supposed to fall or become unaligned while changing axles? If so, how do I avoid it?

Do any bearings have to be pressed on to the axle or hub?

Will I need any special tools to do this work?

Thanks for any help you can send my way!

Do one side at a time, the side gears inside will stay put that way, you might need something to remove the tie rod end, my method is to disconnect the tie rod end, lower ball joint, loosen the strut mount nuts up top and swing the strut out, push the axle through, it might take some taps with a brass hammer to get it through.
