DodgySam Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Whats the best/easiest way to remove axles from a diff head? Brute force and ignorance or is there a better/easier way? Gonna change the diff in the ute-a-saurus to an LSD head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testament Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 have you removed the circlips or retaining plates? on some diffs the circlips are inside the diffhead - what is your ute? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My name is Russell Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 They might slide out with no worries the .. . not always mega hard to get out depends if your outer bearings are rusted in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 try to get a .pdf manual from google. don't know nissan stuff that well although I do have a terrano diff in my backyard. If it's the same/similar to that it's semi floating I think with retaining plates so you have to remove the caliper and probably the disc then undo the 4 bolts that hold the retainer plate on. then the axle should come out. cant say how hard it will be to get the axle to move but I wouldnt think it should be too hard - hilux diffs are similar and they usually come out pretty easily.

Mike-e Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 big slide hammer. this. if you dont care about wheel nut threads you can put a bar/chain arrangement on those. chances are they will come out easily anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 undo the four bolts, then bolt the drum on backwards and smack it with a deadblow hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKer Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 big slide hammer. this. if you dont care about wheel nut threads you can put a bar/chain arrangement on those. chances are they will come out easily anyway or a big effin Agle iron good thing the reVenger is 4 stud, two holes for studs & use nuts to bolt on third hole for puller in center, agree 5stud be PITA for similar method Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 remove drum undo backing plate put tire and wheel back on and hit the tire with a lump of 4x2 about 1500mm long, pops em out easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvoBilly Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 if its real rusty tie one end to a post and the other end on a car towball and drive works a treat otherwise just a slide hammer put chan on wheel nuts make sure there done all the way up or you can damage the studs most well used diffs will just slide out with out any need of force.

DodgySam Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 Righto...So removing the axles was a piece of piss au! Did the brake slave cylinders while we were there and was all sorted and buttoned up in no time. Started the truck put it in gear and graaaaauuuunnnnnchhhhhhh...hrmmm doesnt sound right. Back in to park grrrrraaaaauuuuunnnnchhhhhh.... Hrmmm. Pull it all apart again to find the axles are too small for this LSD head...big fukkin DOH!!!!!! So back to square one!
