Just remove the mid shaft from the outter CV joint. There is a C-clip you have to remove, and then the axle slides right out.

you dont need special ones.

just order the ones for a stock 99 grand am 5spd.

and for those who dont believe me... curtis (skunk) has been running these for over a year without issue.

a.) yes its known the 99 ones work halfway... when you mate the j-body and it together. its however NOT well known that you do not need to mate anything. you just use the damn n-body ones. straight up. no customizing needed.

b.) i assumed he had a 5spd. my bad. i've never of anyone dropping them right in an auto so i guess that i dont know for sure. however... dont see why they wouldnt work. iirc the ld9 and eco powered n-bodies used the same 4t40e we did so i would think it would work.
