    Hey Mr Smith, thanks for the video. I have a question. How do you get the drive axle up through the small area between the frame, trans, and the upper control arm. I have jacked up control arms as far as they will go, but when I finally did get the axle through, the cv joint fell apart. Argh. I might zip tie the CV joint together and cut it after I get it through. Hoping for a slick trick to slide in place. Thanks again.

    • @greekgeekusa

    Trying this one more time - the air vent likely does need to come out. In the 1997 van that's where the cruise control module was located, but now CCM is part of the ECU/ECM. Search the web for the eurovan wiki page for cruise control module removal. I've tried to post the link but my comment keeps disappearing.

I almost got stuck in Flagstaff, AZ on my way back to SoCal. Once I got my van started, I never turned it off, nor did I touch my ignition switch, until I got home. Replacing the ignition switch fixed my problem. Good luck.
