    Thanks for the tip on removing the shafts. I must have watched 20 videos doing another way. My shaft was stuck and your way worked the best. Thanks for the video!!

    Great video! My new shaft had an O ring as well. I did not use it due to the factory shaft not having one. Hope I was right… my shaft would not come out with the punch. I also couldn’t remove the roll pin that holds the pinion shaft. I made a slide hammer out of 12” visegrps 30” of all thread, some black pipe, a couple nuts and washers. 3 wacks and it was out! Thanks again for the great video!

    Yeah I have the exact same truck and my front passenger side seal started leaking. I was thinking I would have to tear all the way into it taking the hub and half shaft and both ball joints apart. Thanks for the info. Good video!

    I'm wondering,
    Can you remove diff cover without removing steering rack

      Yes, It’s shouldn’t have to remove the steering rack

    What is the bearing behind the seal where the intermediate shaft goes I think that’s what’s wrong with my truck

    Im working in 2004 hemi.
    Right side (passenger) axle stub shaft is stuck to the intermediate and both are pulling together- cant remove even tapping with hammer

      In that case you might have to remove the intermediate shaft too, see if easier when both are outside the vehicle

    I was in 4 wheel drive last night and when i turned right it was real tight then a loud, PING!!! All of the sudden my 4 wheel drive was gone and theres a bad clicking sound. It was on passenger side. Do u think it was axle? I looked underneath and seen my stabilizer link was broken and looks like fresh grease/ fluid coming from axle

    My CV axle is stuck to the intermediate shaft and the intermediate shaft is stuck in the diff. I've been beating on it but nothing. Both are stuck. Any tips?

      @silverstonespov5291  Год назад

      Open the diff cover and remove the spider gear pinion shaft in the center out, make more room to pry or beat the intermediate shaft and cv axle out together. But have to remove the cv shaft out from the knuckle first. Good luck

    you have to push out a pin in the differential to remove that longer axle shaft

    • @silverstonespov5291
      @silverstonespov5291  2 года назад +1

      No, because the shafts is held the diff by the clip that came with the shaft not by the C-clip

      @@silverstonespov5291 that snap ring? Just remove and it comes out? I didn’t know. When I rebuilt my 2003 ram hemi, i spun the gear and removed the large pin in the middle and the snap ring on the axle then I tapped it out.
      I don’t have to remove that big pin? Just the snap ring and it comes out?
      Much easier that way.

      @@JacksonGuitarsPlayer03 Yes, just like the CV axle shafts, push it in and tap it out. Not like the solid axle or semi floating axle. When the diff cover remove you can see if it had C-clip or snap ring.
      Good luck !

      @@silverstonespov5291 it has snap ring. Ok then I removed the big pin because I was told that how it comes out. But you saying you can just tap it out from inside the diff and not have to remove that large center pin.
      Trucks already all set but I just wanted to ask.
      Thanks for replying sir!

      on the shaft on the outside of the seal between the seal and the c-clip where the cv axel slides up.
