what about these ones on amazon?
http://www.amazon.com/TO87698768A-front-Le...ota+celica+1995 when changing the driver side do i also need to remove the passenger side axle also? is there anything i should change out while im down there?

One (this applies to OEM) you "pop" it out using the collars/pry bar. Two, slide hammer/vice grips/whatever, mostly this will apply to aftermarket as the "collars" are missing, Three (my preferred method, in regards to 'most" aftermarket), ratchet strap to keep tension and pry bar. All in all, the driver side is not that bad. If the half-shaft is shot, just get it out by whatever means and replace it. what do you mean by "collar" |

These aid in removal, as they give a spot to pry on. Most aftermarket (in my experience) are smooth and do not offer this. Although a rebuilt OEM should have it. |
