Damn it lol

 

you're telling me, I would've replaced a lot less axles from blown boots if they didn't spin in 2wd.

 

Makes no sense on why it spins in 2wd. I'm having problems with it. I can't get it out.

 

I don't know the exact reason but I assume it's because manual hubs allow you to disconnect them from the hub, whereas with ADD they are always connected to the hub but disconnected from the diff until you engage 4hi

Anyway they are a bitch to pop out sometimes, you have to use a good pry bar and put it between the end of the thick part of the inner CV housing and the diff (or axle tube if passenger side)...then push like hell or kick the pry bar and it will eventually pop the CV out.

Sometimes it helps to spin the cv a 1/4 turn at a time, if the C-clip is in just the right position you can get lucky and it'll pop out easily. That little c-clip inside the tube is what you have to overcome to get it to pop out

 

Fuck, its nice and overcast out.

Nice and cool, got errands to do but kind of want to do other shit today

 

I thought about making that post when my t case was acting up

 

How are you gonna install a LT kit if you can't change out a CV?


Ryan's tips are good advice

 

I got a slide hammer and I'm pushing a pry bar with my leg and using the slide hammer.

That's easy I'll use a @Empty_Lord lol

 

put the pry bar in and whack the end with a BFH. Rotate the CV 180 and repeat. A few good whacks and it should come out

 

I'm going to rotate the bitch and give it another try

 

I remember my first time

 

come over and help lol

 

Chillin' before I go run some errands.

You'll have it all done before I'm done

How long are the OEM ubolts? 6.5”?

 

About

My OME are just over 7, and the u bolts another member used for his general springs HD were 7

Both sets still had room to thread on after the bolt

 

7 it is

 

Can always cut them down shorter if the need arises; just don't do what @Sperrunner did to @BartMaster1234
