8 3/4 Axles
« on: January 06, 2004 - 04:51:38 PM »
I am trying to swap the center sections on my 8 3/4 rear I have the passenger side axle slide out. but on the drivers side the axle comes out about 1/4" then seems to be stuck. Am I missing something or do I need a slide hammer? Or maybe someone has a trick? Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks!!!!!!

Sometimes the bearing sticks in the housing. You might need a slide hammer to pull it.

mine came out no problem, there shouldn't be anything else to do but pull.

carefully pry the bolt plate off the studs they will grab sometimes

Thanks for the info guys I will try all the above. I think I will go with Chryco's advice first since it will be the easiest after that it gets the slidehammer.

THANKS!!!! :D
