So I'm working on my nx and trying to replace the rear axle. Das Boot ripped and I have it popped out of the rear end, but seeing if anyone knows the best way of removing the axle. The rear wheel bearing was making some noise also so I have that off. Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you!

 

Removing it? You have to separate it from the hub, undo the big bolt (usually like 28-36mm or something), put it back on loosely, hammer it out of the hub (or use a puller if you have one). You need enough clearance for the axle to go through without getting jammed back into the rear diff.

 

I have the axle nut off, the wheel hub assembly out, I just need to swap it out. It's loose from the rear diff and the hub, Not sure which control arm to remove to give me enough clearance to completely remove it.

 

So you are replacing the axle because of a failed bearing? Wouldn't that be covered by the Powertrain Warranty?

 

The axle nut was actually cross threaded and it was a nightmare to pull off. But after subscribing to tis, I found the procedure to remove the axle. It was surprisingly easy and took like 20 minutes to swap out. It's all good now.
