2G removal of front axles
The factory service manual is nice to have to reference Bolt torques and such but I have linked to the section that relates to this (page 11)
This install was performed on a 1998 Talon TSi AWD. I believe the GST/TSI is the same but doesn't have the carrier bearing? Carrier bearing or not, that doesn't complicate the procedure.
Tools you will need:

Tools you will need:
- Full set of wrenches (you need at least 12,14,17, and 32mm but i had a full set and may have used a few others)
- 1/2" and 3/8" ratchet with full range of sockets, preferrably 6 point and preferrable another long 1/2" ratchet
- Extensions for ratchets.
- Hammer
- 1" by 4 foot pole or other suitable cheater bar (unless of course you have an impact wrench)
- Screwdrivers
- Torque wrench for putting things back on
- Jack stands: don't go under your car until you have these, and make SURE they are stable.
- Impact wrench would be real useful, but I didn't need one. Instead I just used a four foot breaker bar.
