VERY Basic ?...

Front Wheels Off, Up on Stands..

 

How do keep the Front Axle from Spinning?

4LO, put the e-brake on.....or not, if the rear isn't off the ground.

Have someone sit inside and apply the brakes?

Ummm... Either I can't get into 4 Lo (which is one issue I'm working on) or my TJ (which I'm acutally working on) is different...

what are trying to do?

 

Removing Wheel Spacers, Removing Calipers, Taking Axle shafts out, Removing Knuckes, Replacing Ball Joints, Preparing for new Calipers, removing and reinstalling entire front Currie Steering since I don't think it was installed right the first time.

 

Will probably take Springs Out, fix Bumpstops which I have it apart...

I've been known to shove a 2x4 of the proper length between the brake pedal and the seat. :shake: Not sure if you want to do that. Another plan would be to take a long screwdriver and stick in down through the axle shaft yoke by the U-joint.

Air tools would be a BIG help in this situation, but the screw driver or pry bar through the u-joint is a good one. :thumbsup:

If you're working on your TJ (automatic?), 4lo and transmission in P.

 

But I guess the 2x4 is working for you now.

[Pete M]

You guys are forgetting that not everyone has a front minispool like me. :D Even in 4lo, as he wrenches on one side, the other side will simply spin the other way. Both front tires are up off the ground.

Screwdriver...not sure I can get it in 4Lo right now...Will be swaping the TCase Shifter out this week also...

[SuperWade2]

DOH!

 

Sleep deprivation will do that to you. All better now, after I slept a 13 hour night. Should have gone in to work this morning for a few hours, but decided to, well, screw it. I would have been the only one there as everyone else is hunting.
