thanks but jus found out i have a chance at a d35 straight axle from a jeep that got 4.10s for 100 bucks and spare side axles..maybe when i get payed i will be doing sas

 

[Sasquatch_Ryda]

It'll be a D30, not D35. The D35 is the rear axle in a jeep

 

[Boggin]

thats what i thought but the ad said d35 front axle?

 

[funkingonutz]

.........typo

Well unless it's another TTB or the other Ranger 98+ IFS housing, it'll be a rear. I guarantee it.

 

[canyoncritter]

well atleast he would never have to worry abotu knocking the toe out

Man I feel sorry for you guys and that rust.

i have no pb blaster and dont know where to get any, couldnt find any around my town

Any kind of penetrating oil will work as good as PB. "Thrust" is much better but, expensive.
There is a tool you can buy just for removing the spindle. You may be able to rent one at a near by parts store. It's a slide hammer with a special socket.

Or a sacrificial 2x4 and a BFH.

It it just me or does it look like 4 of the 5 studs that hold the spindle on are broken off or missing?

i always push them through, it makes the spindle easier to take off. i'm assuming that's what he's done.
