Dealing with bad front differential

Hmm I wonder if you can just remove the ring gear from the front diff and call it a day.

 

Well you would have to remove the entire front diff to split the case and remove the stuff lol A full day of work may do it.

 

So using the same plugs that are on the prerunner spindles would not work?

 

Plug that I'm referring to.

 

If you remove the axle and just cap off the knuckle will the wheel bearing have issues?

 

Not sure that' what I'm tryng to find out.

 

Nope, you have to have at least the end of the CV joint in there to hold everything together. Just using the caps will cause your bearing to fail and I'd think your wheel to fall off pretty quickly.

 

Clean up the grease before you fling it everywhere.
