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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89eliminator Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 what are trying to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperWade2 Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 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... Replacing 231 T-case shifter with Novak Kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvusse Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 If you're working on your TJ (automatic?), 4lo and transmission in P. But I guess the 2x4 is working for you now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
