Oizarod115 Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 went up to the downtown pull-a-part today in atlanta... A XJ DANA 44 WITH THE SAME GEARS AS ME haaaaaaaaaaaaallelujia 75 bucks and a PITA later. its mine just thought id share my luck :-D
pingpong Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 PITA to pull a rear axle :shock: Cordless sawzall,2 baldes, and a 16mm ratchet and 10 minutes is all I need :twisted: All the same good find :wink:
Oizarod115 Posted April 24, 2006 Author Posted April 24, 2006 yea we didnt have deep sockets... had to hacksaw the u bolts... lol didnt think about the 100 ftlbs of torque... those things SHOT off when you got down to like 1/16in of metal left :shock:
pingpong Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Nice... I love flying or falling parts when using hand tools :twisted:
DirtyComanche Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 I cut the ubolts off of my extra D35 just because it was so amsuing watching them blow apart... Cordless sawzall eh? I should invest in one of those...
whowey Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Sawzall? Usually, my 3 foot breaker and a little grunt and U-bolts are history.
88swampedmj Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 i used a cutt off wheel on my ubolts when i did my soa....iam a wuss haha
Cooter Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 I used to use a corless sawsall, but I found theat the ones with the hardened ubolts would eat up the blades. I just go with a hacksaw and a 5/16 wrench and a hammer. Only cut one ubolt on each side, and hammer the spring plate off. Hacksaw through the shocks, too- the oil will lube the blade ;) I usually can get one out and on the cart in 20 minutes or less.
Oizarod115 Posted April 25, 2006 Author Posted April 25, 2006 lol i like hearing that I'm not the only one has to hack u bolts :cheers: glad the guy with the mule helped us out with the axle though... damn things are heavy lol
pingpong Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 When I strip Xj's and trucks at the house I use the cutting torch for almost everything :nanner: Makes life much easier. :D
Cooter Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 They won't let us bring torches into the local P&P. Even if they did, it is quicker for me to go in with the hacksaw- I kinda like it, I use one at work all day. (I'm an electrician)
Oizarod115 Posted April 26, 2006 Author Posted April 26, 2006 theyre awesome man. especially the online catalog of vehichles and the price list that is universal for all vehichles
DansGreyMj Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 I got my xj 44 for the same price but i remove mine like a man w. my bare hands lol jk i used a breaker bar and it left me worn out for like 2 days what a pita
