B.L.Z.BUB Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I think there are two holes in the axle face you have to line up with some bolts behind it?? Remove bolts and out it comes I think... this is second hand from a thread I sort of remember reading. :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleRedSpirit Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Bolt a lump of big chain to the wheel studs then smash it with a sledge hammer of massive heavy steel rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverra23 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Use a wheel to act as your axle puller. Put wheel on. Put a wheel nut on two of the studs - diagonally opposite. Just do them up a little bit, enough that there is thread inside the nuts, but the wheel is still sloppy. Now put the wheel face up against the axle face, and then give it a good hard tug towards you. Should pop the axle out easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickn5k Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Or a slide hammer works. Yep best tool for the job!!! But if you don't have access to one you can turn an old disk into one. Remove unbolt the rear brake assembly eg. Rear drums and backing plates etc. So that all your left with is an axle with studs hanging out then undo the retaining plate on diff housing. Get an old front brake disk and bolt it on backwards so the disk part is outside but leave it so I will slide back and forwards about 10mm. Push forward then pull it back quickly hopefully it will give it enough of a shock to unseat it. If that fails bolt the disk up tight and hit it with a big rubber mallet but remember to hit then turn the axle. Stu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
