Outer Limits 4x4 Board

trying to get it out to weld it but i cant get the axles out seems to be silicon used as a seal i have undone all the bots and cant get it off what r your tricks ????

I use a slide hammer like this attached to the axle flange on the two M8 threaded holes.



Some people use a chisel between the axle flange and the wheel hub. If the sharp tip is aimed carefully at the gasket, damage to the surfaces can be avoided.

hrrrm dont use a chisel

there are normally two threaded holes in the end of the axle flange, put in some 10mm metric bolts (high tensile preferably) and wind it out!

wind each side a little, tap with a hammer on sides gently as it comes, and also spray 5-5-6 or wd40 as it comes, need to break gasket, should only be the resistance of the gasket , splines should come easy with no resistance at all, if its a lsd maybe take hand brake off.

there are also cone washers in the end of the axle flange, if you havent got these out theres no way that axle is coming out!

search under these forums for cone washer and youl find plenty of guideance on how to get em out, although they are still a pain in the arse

ok i havent got the cone washers out yet will try that

Pmd you not long ago after having another think about it overnight, now see that you have the answers any way. they should come out now.

smack the fuck out the end of it with a hammer, this will shock load it and it will let go.
