k i got the axels out last night thanks to u guys, now trying to install thought they were all the way in puttingoil in tranny and its all leaking =/ please help me what do i do to make the axels go all the way in? i was hitting the hub like crazy with the ball peen, please tell em i dont have to take the hub back apart =/

 

Did you reuse the axles seals becuase I think they might have been damaged when you took the axles out.

 

it's leaking because you probably tore the seal by the driver side axle. check where the leak is comiing, I can guarantee its coming from that seal if you didn't carefully put the axle back in that's whats gonna happen. The seal looks like a regular ring, rubber. Happen to me when i did a clutch install.

 

Jeez you guys are so quick to make the assumption that he tore a seal. My advice is to make sure that the axles are seated in all the way. You'll have to take the suspension back apart to seat them if so.

hitting it hard without aligning them properly is going to rip the seal, not an assumption but a fact.. it sucks your gonna have to take it all apart i hope you have a pressure gun.. cause taking those parts by hand is a major pain.

 

i'll be in fresno tomorrow i can stop by and check out your ride. email: ricerocketracer209@hotmail.com

 

Push in till you hear a "click", do not use excessive force such as a hammer.

 

i got it done just took the axel nut off and used a hammer to hammer the shaft in and it worked on each side =D

 

So problem solved?

jesus , theres a time and place for a hammer and seating axles is neither.

some spray lube would've helped them in without the brute force.

 

I used a little coercion of the forced mass actuator (rubber mallet), works like a charm.

 

Hammer bad. One hand on the inner joint to make sure it is sitting straight (shaft and the outer joint will have about 2" of lateral movement.) Use that movement like a slide hammer and just tap it in. [Happy Gilmore mode on] Taaaaap it in. Give it the old tap-tap-taperoo. [Happy Gilmore mode off]

 

hahahahaha hella funny stuff right there almost...classic... dont worry guys problem solved =D until next time i snap one =/

 

Yea the only problem with the hammer method is you can screw up the end of the axle and the nut wont fit on....I learned the hard way. Rubber mallets from now on

 

use penetrating oil and a plastic dead blow hammer. do NOT use a regular hammer!
