Ok those helped fount the snap rings got cv shafts off but now trying to see how to remove the axle from inside. He does t talk mych bout that just dropping the diff

I think once you remove the four bolts for the bracket the axles will pull out.

I gave up and took it to Coyote Tire in Glendale. Originally wanted to just have the CV boots replaced, then I learned that the labor involved (I was quoted ~9 hours) was roughly the same as for replacing the axles, so I opted to just replace the axles altogether. IIRC, they got a new right axle, but had to send the left out for reman at a local shop. It's been a few months though.

Thats an insane amount of hours..if you are talking 1/2 shafts...they get done over a cocktail in Moab every year
Also..the half shafts are the same both sides...so they should of been able to get 2...??

Gimme a buzz next time Dave , if you need any help with that kind of stuff.
