Beaver Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 same way you take them out of any car really. i tried but couldnt get mine (bearings must have been jammed) and then found a complete rear end for next to nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thminiman Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 why not start by telling people what you have tried? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 a really big hammer im assuming youve removed the 4 bolts on each hub holding them in and are having issues pulling the axles out? a big slide hammer would probably be the best bet edit, and what he said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matred Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 undone 5 bolts holdin it 2 the diff and undone the big nut then on it then hit a wedge in between diff and hub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 dont need to undo the big nut ( as far as i remember) just need more pulling power on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Brute force + heat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matred Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 been tryin 4 like 3 hours but still cant get them out its still in car so cant really swing a big hammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 put the brake drum on backwards with like two wheel nuts just on, then you can get a bit of force by pulling the drum against you(ie away from car), like a slide hammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 been tryin 4 like 3 hours but still cant get them out its still in car so cant really swing a big hammer a bit of chain attached to two nuts and attached to a hammer and whack it out ... or a lsidehammer if you have one of them . the splines will ust be tight due to years of being there and sediment from the oil getting intot he splines etc . it needs shock force outwards. , man cars need full floating diffs!!! i <3 trucks . though 3-5more kg unsprung weight to get a full floater may be a diadvantage. irs FOH LYFE YOHS!!!

UTERUS Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 When i had to replace the axles in my old land rover i got a piece of chain and bolted it to two opposing wheel studs, then swung a sledgehammer inside the chain. Made short work of it, munted the studs a bit but i couldn't care less since it was dedicated off road type dealio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matred Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 might hook it 2 a quad with a chain and c if they will come out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eke_zetec_RWD Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 make slide hammer, they are the tool for the jop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matred Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 ill just try with a bit of chain and sledge hammer first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHGWAG Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Make sure the care is secure if you are going to try the quad idea, last thing you want to do is to pull the car off of axel stands / jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toucan Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Slide hammer is better than any other method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 might hook it 2 a quad with a chain and c if they will come out bad idea , it just needs shock force not pulling , youd be better off using a 12oz hammer then a quad . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Here's a diagram cause I'm bored. I always use a slide hammer though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
