Reply to "1/2 Shaft"

When you replace the half-shafts, I suggest you put them in "backwards" to the factory configuration, with the small-end closest to the transaxle. This allows the exhaust pipes a little more clearance over the smaller diameter part of the half-shafts. FYI, it also increases the unsprung weight a tiny bit, but unless you're racing for money, it will make no difference to you at all, except for lack of noise (from pipe hitting halfshaft) and more convenience in working on stuff like this. The halfshaft bolts, not metric, fit a pair of 5/8" wrenches.
