axles!

Spent the last 2 weeks fixing the rear cv axle boots. First time working under a car, was certainly interesting hahaha...

Points worth noting:
1. Left rear axle was stuck - had to soak the left rear axle in de-ruster, then use a axle puller borrowed from adv auto parts
2. Brought axle to this speciality axle shop in MD that has been fixing cv boots/axles for 15-25 years. Only costed me $130 with return shipping for all 4 rubber boots - would recommend
3. During reassembly, transmission undercover/rear sway bar refused to go back (~5mm gap!). Used ratchet strap to pull both suspension pillars together which lined up the holes correctly

very bad photo for now, i promise to provide better ones soon!

I like the pic. It looks like it is about to be beamed aboard a space ship.
