Hey all, at the moment i am half way through changing the axle seals on a 91 GXL full time 4wd 80 series. one question that is stalling the operation. How hard is it to get the axle back into the diff once i pull it out???? How many people have done this and how difficult was it to do the whole job? I am at the stage now where i can see the CV joint. How much harder does it get? or is it fairly straight forward?

Cheers in advance
Troy

hey dude
it aint that hard just takes a bit of a wiggling and jiggling , o and hold your tongue just right .
but seriously it is pretty straightforward . the tricky bit is getting the inner seals in straight and undamaged . i use a shocky washer from an old front shock welded to a long 14mm bolt .
anyway good luck .
