coyote kid Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 well i toasted my spider gears today broke two teeth off and totaly locked up the back end. now i got to pull em out but i am having trouble pulling the axle shafts out. brake drums are on pretty good. to get the spider gears out there is a small hole is there like a pin or allen screw i have to drive out ?

skidoo_j Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 correct. there is a small pin that holds the cross shaft in place. use a drift to get it out. It's advised to use a new pin when reassemble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coyote kid Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 sorry but whats a drift? is it like a punch? and would the spider gears out of my 86 cherokee with a 2.8 5 speed be a sutable replacment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biotex Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Correct, a drift is a punch. Could you enlighten me as to what caused those teeth to break off? My axle is noisy, and I suspect some damage inside, but I'm not ready to tear into it yet. I want to keep driving, but certainly don't want to lock up the axle.

Biotex Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 it was making some noise and i was excellerating out of a stop and bam/crunch and it locked up Dang it! I was hoping that wasn't the case. Now i'm going to worry about mine because it is also making a noise. In 10 minutes I'm going 200 miles with her, and desolate desert area. The things I do to play golf...

Geonovast Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Are you talking about you 88? Do they both have a D35? If so, then yes, the spiders out of your 86 will go right in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biotex Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Well I made it back from Golf, and no issues with the rear end. I drove 85 most of the way down there. Sure glad things didn't lock up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
