pulling axle shafts w/detroit locker
 

I have a 99tj with D44 and a detroit in it. I need to pull the axle
shaft to replace the wheel studs. I could use some info on going about
this. I cant see where there would be any C clips on the detoit, so I
wanted to check with you guys before I start to try to slide hammer the
axle out.
Been a long time since I was on here.
Thanks

Hey John, how's it going?

I am not sure, but can't you just take the drum off and pop the studs
out with a C-clamp and large socket to catch the stud or a hand vise and
socket? I don't think I would want to hammer them out, but...

My 44's axles also just unbolt from the outside, no slide hammer needed.

Ill go out and try the c-clamp on the studs. I unbolted the retainer
plate that holds the brakes on the tube but the shaft is still in there
and wont come out.

Thanks

Re: pulling axle shafts w/detroit locker
 

well I got them. I just used some penetrating oil and a sledge and to
install i used the impact with a spacer. oh well, I guess that diff oil
needed to be changed anyway,it had about 6k on it.
