Y'all prolly gunna hate me for this, but why y'all taking apart all your steering linkage & what not....

The whole front axle will flop right out on your big fat belly (some fellers have washboard abs...I gots ONE) iff'n ya have Hunny Girl turn the steering wheel right, so you can get at one side of the diff brackets, then left so the other side is accessable. After that, get your floor jack under there, then YOU get under there & finagle it around a bit...a little twisting, a little back & forth...BAM, Belly wit an axle on top...

What does this mean to you?...hell, I dunno...

But Tom should be receiving my old brackets in the mail in the nxt week or two...

BTW, Ryan I copied you, my green cups are a real purdy shade of caliper red.
The silver base coat really makes em POP.

Had a helluvatime getting it all out & the tools put away before dark...dang Blue Angels kept flying over & there ain't NO WAY I couild stay under the truck wit that goi'n on...

It's the kinda thing that makes all the hair on the back of my neck stand up...& also, AWFULLY glad to be an Amer I Kin...

My parking lot is just a bit N of their turn around to head back to the show, so I got to see wing tip & control surface vapor more than a few times today...

They fly again tomorrow, so I'm hoping to get some pics.

Helluva wknd so far, Fr nite, pyrotechnics guild show at the fairgrounds, then perseids in the wee hrs (which I didn't get up for... ), then two days of air show, right over my apt...SWEET!

Darn, you beat me to it. When I did my aussie install, I took the link apart, took a pittman puller, hours of beating and impact wrenching, and it just kind of popped on its own at some point. We took a break, came back, and voila, it was apart

When I did the diff drop on my own in the driveway, I just did the tunring of the wheel action as described by the "wise one". I used my ample belly as a cushion to protect the fragile front third assembly...lol. It took me months to build that cushion, but well worth it, I got the axle out without a scratch
