[V8] Replacing passenger side halfshaft

[Tony and Lillie]

Yep, but some of us (me at least) don't check it all that often. However, 
I'll be posting more shortly, as I'm getting two V8s's. One of which will 
replace the 4000Q as the dd. I'ts getting too sad (I don't really fix all 
that much on my own cars, just run them into the ground). Five years, and 
it's been very good to me. But, time to replace with something with working 
A/C, etc.

Disabling the ABS does not affect the AWD, other than the inop function of 
the locking center diff on auto cars.

To disable the system, pull the ABS relay.
