How to Replace a Broken Axle
Begin by loosening the lug nuts but don't take them off. You would do this so it is easier to take the lug nuts off when the tire is in the air because if you don't the tire spins.
You would then use a jack to lift your vehicle up so you can remove the tire.
Remove the loosened lug nuts and then remove the tire.
Then take the two bolts holding the brake caliper off but don't remove the brake line. You would then remove the disk brake.
After that you would remove the carter key and then the large hub nut. After the large nut is out you would remove the three bolts on the inside of the outer C that hold the hub freeing it so it can be removed.
You would pull the broken axle out of the housing and replace it with your unbroken replacement.
Lastly reassemble it and you can continue your trail.
