2006-07 Different CV Axles than 2008-up???
Pulled my wheel off the HHR today to check the brakes and I find green slime everywhere. I know its the Half shaft. I called around and no one stocked a half Shaft for a 2007 HHR 2.4L. But they had one for the 2008-up.. Is there a difference between the 2.

I did see that, but for some reason advanceauto has the 2006-07 Axles different from the 2008-Up.. Don't know why.
Also a heads up for anyone doing these Axles. A easy way to get the inner shaft out of the stock axle is a Shop Rag, Vice grips, hammer, and a vice.
Place Axle in vise with the in shaft facing down, Wrap the inner shaft with a rag and clamp the Vice grips on it. Hit the vice grips with a hammer and let gravity help.. To put back in the new axle, Place new axle in Vice with Female side up. Line up the teeth and hit the vice grips with a hammer to drive home..
