Need to swap axles within an 8.8 for Cory's tri-color car.

How is this done within the differential area?

 

pull the wheels off.

pull the drums off.

remove rear cover.

push axle 1 in, pull clip

slide out

do the other

slide out.

install reverse of disassembly

 

Serious ... that's it?

 

no, you got to jack the car up too.

but basically yes.

 

yeah that about sums it up....

with the addition of removing the 5/16th's bolt holding in the shaft running through the differential.

remove this bolt, then remove the shaft. otherwise you will not be able to push in the axles to expose the c-clips...

 

Ah hah, I thought I heard of something in there ... pin or sumpin'.

Probably on this journey tomorrow --- new gears (3.73) for Cory's tri-color.

 

its not hard at all. you just have to deal with the nasty ass smell of gear oil


P.s. thanks for the sig bro!
