but bazil should have it working again once he realizes it. All the info you need to replace the axle was linked to you the other day.
The 99 axles aren't as simple to replace as a 900's. You need to pull the whole assembly from the car > meaning spindle, hub, rotor, and axle. It's simple to do...remove caliper bolts and hang the caliper from the spring(need to remove e-brake cable from the caliper also), remove 4 ball joint bolts, disconnect outer tie rod, un-do inner CV boot clamp. Then remove assembly from car.
Then use a press to take everything apart and put everything back together. Pay someone to do it if you don't have access to the equipment. If you do it any other way, you will destroy the wheel bearing. It might not be a bad idea to get a new bearing and install it while everything is apart.
Keep trying that link I posted the other day, it might work later tonight. If you need them sooner, I can email them to you. Just click on my name above and shoot me an email, I'll reply to that.
