Outer Limits 4x4 Board

never done it before, but i want to pull the actual bolting flange off of my rear tail shaft so i can swap it in place for a later model one

how do i take it off, and are the early and late once interchangeable

maybe drill the holes out or swap the flange on the diff could be easier.

Is this on a 60series?

If so I had the same problem with the bolts not lining up. Buy a new uni from repco for 40 bucks. remove the 4 surclips and then bash it out with a socket and a hammer in a vice. I had heaps of trouble mucking around with presses etc trying to do it in the end i was at a mates dads work and his mechanic did it for me in less than 40 minutes with a smoko break as well by just hitting it in the right places.

just had my front uni pressed out by an eneineering place.....very quick (10 min) and easy for me

As monty said. I did mine recently with just a screwdriver and a ball pein hammer, and you know I'm not ruff

You can also use a pitman arm puller and a socket, there wont be too much tension on the bearing caps - they will press out pretty easy.

just get out the vernier and check the flanges and cap sizes - if it matches - bolt it up!

Otherwise, you could redrill the diff flange if the hole centres are different, or oversize the holes if they are the same centre (I think the gen 1 shafts are 8mm bolts - the gen 2 are 10mm bolts)
