anyone know where I can get the front axles for a 80 4x4 LUV, i went an dpicked my LUVette up today, and when i got it home, (14 hour drive roudn trip) I took it off the trailer, and notcied NO FRONT AXLES, i was never told these were not there. I sent him an e-mail in hopes he may have taken them out for some stupid reason, and forgot about it....
Any help would be appreciated

up where i am in cali there is a pick and pull that has a 79 luv which by the way was the donor for my header but n e ways it is 4x4 and the axle is still there. i live up in lake county if u ever heard but i hope this helps

I got mine new at an O'Riley parts store for about 75$$ a piece.
but I live in TN, so I don't know if they have them in other areas.

Good luck

speeking of front axles how hard is it to change the pumpkin gaskin cause mine is pretty old and i think its leaking. cause there is no oil around my oil pan seal but theres oil all over the place and i think it might be the calpret. tell me what u think and how hard it would be to do. thanx. matt

It's fairly easy if you have a solid lift and a workbench with a solid vise. Without those, I think it would be a major PITA. Getting them out can be a bitch if you need to whack on them, and you would surely need to whack on them to get them apart to install the new boots (at least I did on my old car). I hope this helps you.

Edit: We are talking about CV boots, right?

It is no harder than the rear member. Remove all the bolts ( did you say the axles are out?). Then just tap the housing with a soft hammer to break the gasket aloose. It is heavy, so don't drop it!
