I ordered the special tool and bearing kit, and am following the instructions from this thread and from other threads as closely as possible. However, upon starting this procedure I immediately caught a snag. Specifically, I encountered trouble pulling the axle out from behind hub. There is a picture of what I'm talking about. I can tap it out to where its no longer interfaced with the hub, but then it wont budge beyond that. It wont move enough to clear the flange. Do I need to remove the entire axle? |
...remove the 4 bolts that hold the differential up, then lower the differential/subframe until the axle clears the hub.
