Ratchet strap did the trick

 

Ratchet strap will come in clutch too when aligning your axle and leaf pack to get those bolts back on.

 

lube and twist

 

Just don't be like me and forget to check the torque on your bolts after some few hundred miles

Lost one of my bolts one day and didn't realize it until I got home

 

I never did retorque my ubolts
At least you didn’t use the shackle hanger torque spec on the shocks. Sheared that bolt real quick

 

You guys use torque wrenches?

 

Last question before it’s out;
I can’t put the driveshaft on in the wrong orientation at the diff right? Anytime I’ve removed it guides always say to mark the flange but I obviously have no reference on the new axle

 

There's no possible way to put the flanges together wrong. Just don't pull the slip yoke apart

 

Clearly it's a bit late for this now, but I saw today that 6-ton jack stands are on sale at Harbor Freight.

 

And the good news is, you'll get new ones in a few years when they recall them for failure

 

Don't think of them as recalls. Think of them as security updates.

Also @0xDEADBEEF, dude poured in like liquid

 

Psh, that was Pittsburgh. These are Daytona. Totally different.

In all seriousness though, the Daytona stands have a secondary retention mechanism to protect against the issue that caused the Pittsburgh stands to be recalled.

 

Got damn boy, GOT DAMN, HE THICC, THAT'S A THICC ASS BOY

 

Yeah just missed it
Axle is already stuck on my jack lol
I put a strap around the flange to hold it up so it didn’t spin forward, but then it just slipped backwards anyway
At least I can move it around easily still , getting it off is a problem for tomorrow hopefully can just slide it off
Also peep stray checking out what I was doing

 

When I lived in Mesa I had a stray that would hang out in the garage with me and catch cicadas at night. I miss that dude I wonder how he's doing. He lived in a bush next to the house and all the neighbors fed him.

 

Those dollies are stupid convenient

 

Oh your jack has a teeny pad on it. I see what it's a struggle.

Lifting one end of the axle at a time isn't too bad from what I remember. If things get dire, remove the brake drum to make it lighter.

 

He turned the corner when my camera was already up snapping that pic, and then the gf opened the garage door and immediately scared him off unfortunately
Maybe he’ll come back and hang out

plan to move my drums over anyway so good call

 

I just drug mine around the garage floor and set it on wood blocks.

that looks easier

 

for like $10 each at hf theyre incredible
Even for just getting it out of the bed they came in handy, along with having a couple guys to help
