| Nismo Nissan Skyline GT-R. Show or Display |
I don’t think that axleing is a word. It is now. When I looked over #500, before I drove it the first time, I noticed the right side outer CV boot was torn. Its a pretty common problem with the Nissan Skyline GT-R. As you drive, the grease that lubricates the CV joint eventually all gets tossed out, then the axle does bad things. So it is something that you want to take care of. Since I was feeling like working on the car, starting on some cleaning and detailing, I decided it was a good time to hit the axle.

| Remove the cotter pin from the outer end of the axle |
 |
| Cotter pin and cap come off axle nut |
 |
| 36 mm socket to get the axle nut off |
 |
| Removed the ABS/wheel speed sensor. You can see the torn boot |
After the wheel speed sensor and nut, dropped the tie rod end. Removed the end link off the sway bar. Loosened up the top hat of the shock. Removed the lower ball joint. Disconnected the tension rod from the lower control arm.
 |
| Axle cleared of the hub. |
 |
| The right side axle can be tough to remove |
This shows how I got the axle free on the right side. There isn’t much room, but one or sometimes two pry bars, and a hammer can pop the axle free. There is a clip in the front diff that retains the axle.
I have my car jacked up on the right side. However the front diff may leak some oil if the car is level. After a couple of good hits, check and see if the axle is free.

I will change the inner and outer boot. Put some Neo HPCC grease in the ends(this is what Suzuki from Shift recommended). Next will be the rest of the prep to get this thing on the track eventually. It needs front differential ,transmission, transfercase, and rear end fluid changes. Should think about a decent set of brake pads. The divided twin turbo pipe needs to get installed. I even have a front strut tower bar I picked up. There is a leak from the back of the passenger side valve cover(1/2 moon, they always leak). I have a set of spark plugs(BCPR7EIX) for it, and I should probably replace the coil harness. The Full Race ETS Pro ATTESA controller, would also be worth it to install. This is going downhill?uphill? fast. …Maybe this year.
Now retrieving an image set.
