remove the pot cover and drain, remove the bolt that holds the center diff pin in, then remove pin,AT THIS POINT DO NOT TURN ANYTHING AXLES OR DIFF OR DRIVESHAFT push axle inward and remove u clip that holds shaft in then pull shaft out
Yes but you need two thumbs. Jack the truck and support it on the frame ahead of the axel so the axel can hang on its own weight. Remove the bolts and mount to the bad spring - remove the axel mount first, Let the axel sag and put something under the tire to help hold it. Remove the spring mount bolts to the frame and lower the spring out the rear. reinstall is the reverse --- BUT --- the new spring may not fit right in the spring mounts.
Mount the front bolt first and then the rear - you may have to use a pry-bar and force the spring into the rear mount.
Does that truck have a floating axel? That is where you have the center hub with about 8 bolts that hold the axel shaft in. If that's the case, I'm pretty sure, the hub and drum have to be removed as an assembly. If there are no center bolts and it's just the end of the axel and it is stuck on the axel you may have to heat it with an oxygen/accetylne torch. If it's loose on the axel and the shoes are holding you have to go in through the hole in the backing plate (on the bottom) and back the adjuster off. The tricky part is holding the automatic adjuster arm out of the way so you can back the adjuster off. If you go in the hole with a screwdriver or brake adjusting you will only be able to turn that little wheel one way and that is tighter and you should hear the adjusting arm click. STOP you are going the wrong way. Take a small screwdriver and go under the adjuster on the back side (toward the rear of the vehicle), you should be able to feel the adjusting arm. Gently push the arm out of way, it won't move much, at the same time back the adjuster off. Good luck!
You will have to remove the rear end plate off of the back of the rear end. Then turn the carrier untill you see a big silver pin that goes through the spider gears. Those will be 4 small gears in the rear end carrier. If you look at the right side of the carrier were the pin goes through it you will see a small bolt head, That bolt goes through the carrier and holds the pin in place. Remove that bolt then reach up in the rear end housing and push the pin towards you untill it comes out. ( DO NOT TURN ANYTHING AFTER YOU REMOVE THE PIN) are the spider gears will fall out.
Now get someone to push the axel in while you are looking at the 4 small gears in the housing, when they push the axel in a C-clip will fall off the end of the axel and into the rear end, You will see it fall out. Then just pull the axel out.
When you put the axel back in, push it all the way in then slide the c-clip over the end of the axel and then pull out on axel and that will hold the clip in place untill you put the big long pin back in the carrier. I hope you understand, just watch what you are doing. GOOD LUCK.
you need to pull the cover off the rear diff. remove the rear brake drums or rotors, remove the bolt that holds the pin in the rear end, remove the pin, remoce the c clips, pull the axles out. remove the seal. you can do this by using one ofthe axles to pry the seal out. install the new seal and reassemble. use rtv sealant to reseal rear diff and fill with about 3 - 3 1/2 qts gear lube-may take synthetic
Wheel, brakes etc that are in way of pulling axle out have to come off. Drain rear end fluid, remove rear housing cover, remove bolt that holds pin in differential, remove differential pin, push in slightly on axle to remove "U" clip that holds shaft in, then slide shaft out. replace seal. Reverse procedure for re-install & fill with gear lube. If any questions, get back to us.
