Long Travel BS Thread

Hey guys. Extremely stuck right now. My CV axle is really pissing me off because it won't come out. I only have the outer side left which is the compression sleeve but I keep hitting it and it won't separate. I've tried the pipe idea and that wasn't working either. Any other ideas?

 

The pipe method works. Just gotta slam it down hard on a steel surface

 

105 is spec I believe. Been working well fer me.

 

It works once you find a hard surface and use a pipe that's the just long enough. I started with a long pipe and it wouldn't separate until I shortened it. Once I did that it came apart after a couple hits. I also used a anvil which helped.

 

I just don't understand why camburg or anyone else hasn't made something like this. Another guy and I were thinking of doing this exact thing for years

 

did he ever say anything back to you in that thread? like price or anything. id buy in a heartbeat.

Anthony got me thinking. so these can be used with the normal LBJ? and also be upgradable to their uniball lowers?

 

Any idea the length? Just picked up a 7 ft steel pipe from Lowes and was going to cut it in half to use

 

What exactly are you banging out? The front inner cv correct?

 

Yup. Really pissed me off today but I think I didn't have the right type of pipe/ a hard enough surface

 

Shouldn't it just bang out of the spindle? If you have the inner removed and take off the nut and cotter pin. Use a 3lb slegde. Not sure why you need a pipe. Maybe your 2nd Gen is different.

 

My bad, I meant the outer. The inner came off pretty easy with a big enough hammer... The inside is what is stuck

 

second gen is different, last time we did mine one side worked with the pipe method and the second cv bent a press and laughed at the pipe...10 lb sledge with an impact socket and a side of anger

 

The pipe only needs to be a few inches longer than the axle. Make sure you are hitting on a thick piece of steel. I broke a set down a few weeks ago just for the cv stubs. Broke one loose on my welding bench, tried the break the second loose on the concrete and it wouldn't budge. Decided to put my purse down and hit it on a metal arbor plate from my press as hard as I could. Took one hit.

 

Already limited by the upper uniball and CV axles anyways

 

same man that thing looks super sweet!

 

Id didnt get around to posting yesterday but that was when i finished my bedsides (for the most part). Took me 3 days working by myself pretty frustrating work but im happy with the results still need to figure out the tail lights

 

Looks good! Do the first gen tail lights not mount to the inner sheet metal bed like on 2nd gens?

 

Price was 600$ I think..
