All I am doing is removing the third memeber to take it into a 4 wheel shop to add my locker in. Its cheaper that way. So I need to unbolt the drive shaft, drain the oil, but dont I have to remove all the boly on the diff to pull out the third? Any one know? or have pics or diagrams. I have my Haynes manual, but have not seen where to do this. Its a NON TRD axle. The rear.
That sounds better- from your original posts- sounded like you were going to tackle the ARB with ....lets just say limited knowledge....based upon your questions.
-Drain Rear diff fluid.
-Support truck via rear axle
-remove wheels
-isconnect parking brake at each drum
-disconnect rear hard brakelines at drum using 10mm flare wrench- try to cap the hard line to prevent brake fluid from emptying reservoir
-Unbolt 4 bolts on the back plate of the drum
-remove rear axle shafts
- Mark the location of the rear driveshaft * pinion flange before removal unbolting ...Unbolt the 4 bolts and separate shaft & flange - use wire hanger or something to suspend rear drive shaft
remove all (10?) nuts around the 3rd member
OK - The 3rd member is F'n Heavy !- Get something underneath
(wood blocks, mechanic creeper) pull it out carefully & watch your fingers
A 5 gallon pain bucket is ideal to transport the diff
