Yeah sometimes a little heat will help, or a press. I definitely got lucky with mine 😂🤙

Great video. Dam those C-clips come out easy when you don't have East coast rust on them....LOL.

Thanks! And yes they do! And the axles separate from the bearings with ease! Hahahaha

I love how you used the bolts to get the bearings off.

Nice video well conveyed. I have done this many times on my JK. I have never take off the axle nut. I have seen others do this as well, I just do not understand that extra step. I also recommend ditching the spline hub bolts and replace them with any auto store brand as they will be hex head.

Thank you! And yes I agree it's definitely an extra step, but I recommend removing the axle from the hub because it's easier to install the axle shafts into the carrier, that way you dont cut the inner axle seals when reinstalling. Because we all know those are not fun changing out 😂😂

Thanks for the video and your time. Why have the ball joint press if you're hammering the joints out? You say you like to use the press at the beginning of the video and show it laying under the jeep at the end. But I never see you using it. Did I miss it?

@jku392adventure Жыл бұрын

It was giving me all sorts of trouble trying to use. I've used them Before in the past and have had good luck, but using a little hammer force was just easier. The ball joint kit was a wore out one from AutoZone. Next time I do it I'll just buy a small press 😂😂

@@AdventuresWithRyanHanley also it's a good time to do ball joints if you have not done yet. I recommend ball joint eliminators

Wouldn't be most cheaper and faster just to buy a whole knew axle shaft ?

@jku392adventure 8 ай бұрын

😂😂😂😂 I mean true, but sometimes your on the side of a trail and you need to fix it

@codyrichardson238 4 ай бұрын

Faster and easier yessir. Cheaper, not so much. Price dana axles and you will see. You could get a $100 axle assembly but it is not dana spicer.

Good video, but it's definitely not a rust belt vehicle.

@fitzmeister5992 yeah I'm lucky for that, I'm from Ohio and everything I had when I lived there was rusty 😂😂
