You having a hard time getting the stock axles out? They should just pull out straight. Compress the CV by pushing in first then pull quickly out. You shouldn't need any tools....just yank on it and give er hell.

If they are not level the comp ring at the end of the shaft inside the housing will bind and not compress and not allow it to pass threw the housing you have to hold the axel level and pull at the same time. It takes some time to get use to but it will come out.

Sweet thanks guys a video made it 100 times more sense than the instructions did and now I believe I can handle em myself.... As soon as I get time lol

The clean up is the worst part.Good time to double check the cages and CVs for damage though.Mine were spotless after 2000 miles of hard abuse.

Subject: Re: axels Tue Mar 19, 2013 11:22 am

Mine have maybe 200 miles lol

just like anything once you've done it once the second time is a breeze. I youtube everything! Even if you can't find the exact video you can usually get something close. I always find a visual extremely useful!

That's what I did with my sheave don't know why I didn't think about it with this lol

Subject: Re: axels Tue Mar 19, 2013 3:18 pm

I did the same...never knew what a sheave was till I opened it up. Shit, the first time I flooded my Rhino I took the entire clutch cover off because I didn't know there was a drain. 20 second job too me about an hour.
