From what I understood from our conversation last night, Dennis is sending me a complete axle assembly...both stubs, both CV joints, and the axle shaft with both boots attached and already greased. From studying the cars suspension, looks like this is a rough outline of the procedure...

Remove the caliper and emergency brake caliper
Remove the Trigo adapter
Remove the grease cap
Remove the axle nut
Remove the brake rotor
Remove the upper rose joint suspension pivot bolt
Remove the two lower suspension pivot bolts
Withdraw the hub carrier
Withdraw the axle assembly
Insert the new axle assembly
Reinstall the hub carrier
Reinstall the two lower suspension pivot bolts
Reinstall the upper rose joint suspension bolt
Reinstall the brake rotor
Reinstall the axle nut
Torque all fasteners to proper specs
Reinstall the grease cap
Reinstall the Trigo adapter using the metal template
Reinstall the caliper and torque fasteners
Reinstall the wheel and knock off

Howzzat sound...?

Now....where do I begin repairing all the shee-ite that I'll probably break in the process of doing all the above? And, can I remove the rear axle nut without knocking the car off the jackstands? Anyone know the torque setting...?
