StevenC=> I have bent a swing arm. What advice do you have for
=> removal/replacement?
Do you believe the axle itself is bent, or do you mean the axle tube?
If the car is rolling, does the wheel wobble?
Replacing an axle and/or axle tube requires some pretty extensive
disassembly. If the axle is actually bent, I'd want to check out the
transaxle very carefully for internal damage. Axles are tough, and the
amount of force necessary to bend one would almost certainly cause other
damage.
I嚟�nor has a good transaxle, it would probably be simpler and
smarter to pull both rear ends -- subchassis, trannies, axles, hubs,
everything -- and exchange them.
On the other hand, if it's just the tube, it's a fairly straightforward
replacement.
=> Is there an easy eay of replacing the outer skin?
It'll be a big project. Are you at all familiar with body work?
