A: To remove the drive axle/hub, start by loosening the drive axle/hub nut and the wheel lug nuts. Then, raise the vehicle and support it securely on jack stands. Remove the wheel and mark the exact position of the strut to the steering knuckle. Loosen, but do not remove, the strut to steering knuckle bolts. Separate the Tie Rod End from the steering knuckle arm and remove the hub and bearing assembly if necessary.
