I can't get them out? The halfshafts are stuck where the black boot( the joint) is, they get stuck between the struts and part of the control arm. I have them totally disconnected on boths sides, and are hanging loose, they are out of the wheel hub though. In my haynes manual it says to remove the brake discs, is this neccessary? Cuz i have all the nuts and screws out, and other brake quipement but they are stuck on there SOO HARD. I don't see why u need to remove them anyhow? HOw are u supposed to get the halfshafts out anyhow? do u pull them out from underneath car, right?

It will be fine. Just make sure that you put something under your tires.

I got them, yep u do have to take off the shocks, which is easy as hell. But i ran into another problem, one of the used halfshafts i got is missing a clamp on one of the boots, so i gotta get another clamp and mess around with that ****. How much hp can these stock halfshafts handle anyhow, and are there any upgrades?
