CV axle DIY?

Thanks CTScott..!

What about other parts that I should replace while getting to the axle?
Ball joints, stabilizer links, struts, wheel bearings?
Cheers

With 180K km, I would check all of those before disassembling the car to determine if they are due or not. I personally would not replace all of those just for the sake of doing so, but if any are even close to due, then this is definitely an easy time to do so.

CTScott:

Can the CV axles be removed independently from each other? According to some internet sources some cars need one side removed & then a "drift" to displace the other side.

How difficult is it to get the CV axle to slide out from the transaxle housing?

They come out independently on the Yaris. I find them extremely easy to remove, as there is a nice notch on the inner joint that l get a giant flat blade screwdriver onto and then whack the handle of the screwdriver with a hard rubber mallet.
