Stocks shafts with the 760 joints, Aussie locker and 35s. No breakage with this abuse:

If anyone has seen Peterson's 4 Wheel and Offroad 2009 Ultimate Adventure, the last part of that climb may look familiar.

Sweet Video!

 

I'm going 2 pull a replacement here this morning, That hill hasnt seen the last of me, I have been up it in dry conditions but in yesterdays mud and considering 4 vehicles had been up or attempted it prior to me....yeah it was a bit more work. No harm though Its all part of the game :wrench:

I've done that trick and it works great. I've also backed removed two bolts and almost completely backout the third one, and use the same trick on the bolt head.

 

First time I had no clue how to do it and spent 4 hours removing the unit bearing from the steering knuckle.

I've been told that this method works ok:

 

 

 

sounds plausible to me. use the power steering to help with the grunt work. :D though I guess it won't help as much on an axle that is separate from the truck. :(

 

Jesus, did you dig that thing out of the bottom of the atlantic?

I don't know what you guys are doing wrong, you undo the three bolts holding the hub in, and then you pull the hub out, generally its easier if you undo the nut first so when you pull the hub the axle will slide out at the same time.

I hate you!

 

Here in the rust belt where they use salt on the roads, shiny clean metal will look like Pete's picture after one winter. Any unit bearing that has been in the vehicle for more than a year is rust-welded in place. You remove (or break off) the three bolts, breaking a few sockets ratchets and breaker bars in the process, and then you still have to break apart the weld holding the unit bearing to the steering knuckle.
