06 1500 Passenger CV Axle Issues
Hey Guys,
I'm changing the CV axle on the passenger side, it was a nightmare getting it off, when it finally popped off, the intermediate shaft came with it and bent the snap ring that holds the shaft into the axle housing. I was wondering if there were any tips to get the intermediate shaft out of the cv axle, and did I fubar something up bad, am I going to need to pull the axle housing apart to replace that snap ring?

Just an update to teach everyone from my stupidity. When I changed my shocks 2 years ago, I hit the CV boot with my torch. I was too lazy to do anything about it and just drove with it slinging grease. It wasn't until it started binding up while driving that I changed the axle. But 2 years of driving a greaseless CV axle made it hot enough to weld the C-clip to the spline, thus not allowing it to compress to slide the CV axle off of the intermediate stub shaft. So, if you have a bad CV boot, DON'T wait to fix it, it will be A LOT of headache and problems if you do. Trust me!

replace intermediate axle
mine done same thing, you need to put rag in hole, clean around 4 bold. remove 4 bold. remove bearing and race, and gear, buy new intermediate axle and seal; along with new cv axle. I wouldn't use same ones or repair
this was the intermediate shaft at rockauto.com that i got : TRAKMOTIVE CH3508 (Standard Replacement) Front Right; 4WD
this was the seal : MOPAR52114377AC
I think I got the cv axle for like 67.00 at carid.com but went thru ebay for the free shipping, if want link let me know, i'll check back here a few more day see if anyone can help me out
