front differential

Hi everybody, I'm working on replacing the bearings and seals in a Dana 35 SLA axle housing, but I can't figure out how to get the center pin past the ring gear! This differential has a 4.10 ratio and the ring gear is huge. Like, the pin is barely visible behind it so grinding the teeth down...

I have a 1996 ranger manual trans, 4x4 with locking hubs. I want to remove the axles so I can pull the front diff to reseal it. I took off the hub lockers, and behind that there seem to be two nuts that have a sort of slotted drive . I imagine I need a special socket to remove these. Any idea...

My front differential on my 1996 4.0 4x4 5spd manual ranger xlt is leaking heavily , probably from the pinion seal. Can I leave the front hubs unlocked and 4x4 off and drive around even if the fluid in the front diff is low/empty while I get around to fixing the leak? Also, does transfer case...

I’ve been chasing a moaning sound from the front drive train for a week now. I can’t figure this out. I pulled out the half shaft drove it- noise still there Replace both wheel bearings again (replaced in 2018) drove it noise still there. Pulled both CV’s drove it-noise gone. What’s left...

hello i have a 2001 ranger 4x4 and the front differential cover is leaking and i want to take it off and fix it but where the motor crossmember sits and where the diff sits i cant get one of the cover bolts all the way out, anyone know how i can move the diff to get the bolt out?

I got a 94 ranger 4.0 4x4 and just yesterday i took it out mudding and trail ridding to test out the manual hubs i just installed and it ran great!! but when i got home i noticed fluid leaking and it turned out to come from the front differential which is a dana 35. i have worked on 93 f150...

I'm putting a 351W in my 85 BII and need to beef up the front diff. I've read about the Dana 35 swap, but no one has enough detail about wether i can just bolt it in and get a shorter driveshaft or if i need to replace the whole front Twin Beam. I'd like to be able to just unbolt the 28 and junk...
