Default Axel removal on clutch install. Help question.

Is there another way to remove the axels without having to break the center wheel lug. I thought I read somewhere that I could just take apart the suspension and tie the axles out of the way? What do you guys recommend?

Even if that were possible, I think you'll be better off breaking the axle nuts and just pulling the axles.

So just undoing the LCA and sway bar isn't a smart thing to do? Then I could just swing everything out correct?

take the 17 mm castle nut off on the bottom of the control arm....pop that out and then you can just pull the axels out of the tranny without removing the whole axel...

do this all the time

unbolt the control arm and move the axle out, Thats of course after you break the 32mm bolt

You've got the idea. The pain of removing the axle nut is not worth it. Just remove the fork, detach the lca from the hub, pop the drive axle out of the tranny, and tie it up and out of the way.
