Busted CV Shaft
i was doing a 4wd launch and thought i heard something pop. driving to work i was hearing a clanging noise from the driver side tire. got to work and pulled back the outer housing and the bearings and pieces of metal fell out. i know a guy at the dealership and he said he can get me the whole shaft with the bearings for $560.is this a good deal. and can i install this myself without having any "special" tools? is it safe to still drive my truck?

pull the dust brass dust cap off on the front axle and theres a 36mm nut holding half of your cv axle. and theres 6 bolts holding the other half of it to the front diff. it helps to but it in 4wd when working on them parts to keep them from spinning if you dont have any impact tools.
tigheten the 6 bolts on the flange to 58 lb/ft and the axle hub nit to 155 lb/ft
