so removing the whole "driveaxle" or axle is easier then replacing just the cv joint?

looking at my car manual seems more complicated then people tell me.

First off, i need to put a wooden dowel in the gear so to keep the gears from falling?

I need to remove te brake calipers and rotors?

I need a "gear puller" to push the axle out of the hub?

1977 Ford Truck, Originaly was a 351 MODIFIED (Came from the factory like that), overhauled, bored out, longer pistion rods (if not, the stroke was made longer for more power, one of the two), racing heads and racing pistons, new crankshaft, better camshaft. It had dual exhausts, better spark plugs, high flow cat converters, and some kind of special sleeve or something in the combustion chamber area (dont know what they mean). It also had a good air filter, and a few other mods.

So, about how much Hp (and/or torque) are we talking about here?
It ran on Gasoline.

We bought a used Car only to discover a week or two later that is had been in a front end collision. To the extent that the body shop we took it to pointed out 20 repairs that were not done correctly including a bent frame. This dealership did not tell us this fact they also had not reported it because its carfax came out clean. Does this constitute the right to give the car back and have our down payment refunded?

Whenever I get my oil change, this question comes up. Is the expensive sythetic oil worth it? What benefits does it have, both for your gas mileage and your engine? Is it worth paying $25 bucks more an oil change to get it?

This morning I went to the store and on the way there I noticed the belt was squeaking a lot. When I got there and turned the car off I heard a loud hissing noise under the hood. While I was in the store it stopped so I drove it home. On the way home, it ran a little warmer than normal but not hot. When I parked it, it started to smoke a little and was making the hissing noise again. What could that be?

I have a 2003 Mazda 6 with 32,000 miles on it. My last oil change was at 28,215. Before that it was about 25,500 or so. I see in the owners manual it recomends every 5,000 miles. I have read on the net of people extending the interval to 7,500 miles. I have even seen one article on "extend life" systems which adives intervals of up to 10,000 miles! I was brought up on the 3,000 mile oil change system and have been for the most part a fairly strict adherant to it. I was wondering what is the best oil change interval for non-synthetic (natural, fossil fuel based) oil? Should I stick with the 3,000, follow the manuals recomended 5,000, split the difference and go with 4,000? I plan to own this car for a very long time and want to get the most out of what to me is an investment. At the same time I don't want to needlessly throw money away. Any advise, tips, or suggestions would be more than welcome. Thanks in advance.

My altima was leaking antifreeze for 2 or 3 weeks so I started using water instead of antifreeze until I got the problem fixed. One day my car overheated and started cutting off on me and then I could not get it to start up again. It had white smoke coming from the front of it. I found out I needed a new water pump which I had installed and I also got my spark plugs and wires changed because some of my spark plugs had melted from the car overheating. I also had the oil changed, which looked burned from the car overheating. After all this my car still won't start, we checked the fuel injector it's not that. I'm hoping that my engine hasn't gone up. I would appreciate any suggestions.

We have replaced the water pump, thermostat, fan clutch, this is the 3rd radiator, the heater core,and hoses, sending unit for the heat sensor, intake manifold seal, flushed the radiator and still it
overheats, to the point of "puking" . When in the car you can hear the water circulating thru the heater core, if you take the radiator cap off (when cool) and let the car run for a while you can see the antifreeze rotating. Liquid in the canister sometimes even boils. The thermostat on it now is the 2nd one in a week. If you notice the tempurature gauge rising, we can turn on the heat and it lowers the temp on the gauge and keeps it from overflowing. I don't want to blow up or seize the engine, so we drive it very little. We bought the vehicle from the orginial owner, it now has about 182,000 miles on it. We have also replaced transmission, brake booster, ball joints, and several other smaller items. It looks good and runs good and strong, when not overheating.
