    I need to have my carrier bearing and my u joints replaced. This is my only vehicle so can't afford to have it down for more than 1 day. Don't have a shop/garage to pull it myself so need a full service driveline shop that can pull it, replace my u joints and carrier bearing and reinstall drive shaft. Any suggestions on the front range for a shop that can do this in a day? I'm located in Vail but realize I'll need to drive to front range for this. Thanks for any suggestions...

    Step 1, find a drive shaft shop you like. I prefer Bill's Englewood Driveshaft. https://www.billsenglewooddriveshaft.com/

    Step 2, remove your rear driveshaft. Takes about 15 minutes, total of 10 bolts. All 14mm head so make sure you have at least 2 wrenches.

    Step 3, turn vehicle on (not started yet) and shift it to neutral. Select 4wd and let vehicle roll slightly if needed to engage.

    Step 4, drive around in your highly modified lifted FWD Honda. Drive easy and you will have no issues.

    I can't offer any other help then that. Most driveshaft shops have at least a day turn-around. Bill's doesn't do removal or install, just the driveshaft work. Possibly Rockymountaindrivetrain?
