I've heard people here saying how hard it is to get the axles off or on.
Two words: air ratchet. it's so simple. Just zip them dudes off or on. I'll do it tomorrow. Or a least think about it a lot. KT |

The stub from the tranny can be massaged with "LOVE" with an ordinary rubber mallot and a well placed tap....
Air rachet? |

I'm talking about the 8mm twelve point allen head bolts that hold the things on. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
In that tight space, just pull the trigger and go. I've heard people talking about vice grips and stuff... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) KT |

It's not hard until you strip one of the bolts. Then out come the vice grips. Air ratchet won't help you there.... Also with a 3/4" extension you can easily get the ratchet away from the rubber boot and the job is a piece of cake. Just make sure the triple star bit is firmly seated into head of the bolt before you start turning.

takes less than 5 minutes with standard hand tools, not sure what is hard about it??? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) careful with the air-tools, too much torque during the install and those bolts will snap...BTDT (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) |

Air ratchets are for wussys, just use a 3/8 drive impact gun for removal. One tap on the button, it is out. Takes more frigin time to reposition on the other side than to pull the whole axle out.
