36 mm?

I asked a while back but the search won't find it...

Thanks,

 

36mm

 

Thanks bro! That's the size socket I rented the other day by memory, but I wanted to double check before I do the axle swap tomorrow...

Thanks!

36mm with a 10 foot breaker bar...

 

LOL...so I've heard :D

What else do I need besides the axles and the socket? Any last-minute tips for doing this?

Thanks,
Hank

 

You can get a puller to loan for free from autozone, that way if you can't beat the ball joint off, you can try the puller out. And a metal coat hanger to hold the assembly up out of the way.

 

Be careful when you pull the axles. I did mine last winter and fubar'd one of the wheel bearings. Had to buy a new bearing and have it pressed on. Dented the wallet, to say the least. Got new axles at Checker for a reasonable price. Both CV boots were ripped and grease everywhere. Not a hard job. You need a good pry bar, also. Good luck.

 

It was VERY easy...

Impact wrench broke the 36 mm nut loose. Popped the lower ball joint and rotated everything out of the way. A slight pop with a pry bar and the axle was out and the new one was back in...

Thanks for the help guys!
