EDIT - Did not want to make a whole new thread..

How can I get the axle out without poping the balljoints, i remember reading this was optional.



AKA what is the easiest hassle free way to do it? If it's a lot easier poping the ball joint i will just buy the tool.





Will be doing this soon:

I want to get new boots and clamps, what else should i get?
Also is there anything that may get stripped or broken (i will order as precaution, all the parts seem cheap)

In all honesty, you wont need a single part.

The clamps are stainless steel, and designed as such they can be taken on and off endless times.

I've done dozens of bucket swaps and never bought a single part. I have never seen a boot failure in 9 years of doing so.

starchland

maybe some grease? and a few extra pins for your balljoints...whatever there called

RoninS2k

Awesome, thanks. In the diy they mentioned new clamps so i figured i would need them but guess not

Billman250

Not only do you not need them, I highly recommend re-using the stock clamps. They release with pliers in 2 seconds. go back on is 4 seconds.

How do I get the axle out without the ball joint separator?

I remember reading that somewhere...

_brandon

Idk personally, but what i was curious was if it was possible to swap the cups out without even removing the rear axle nut

Working_Class_S

I pushed the cups out of the diff without removing the axles.

_brandon

See explain that^ Just took off the cups and swapped around right? I kinda assumed you could do that but didnt know for sure.

Working_Class_S

I didn't have a long enough breaker bar or arm power for the axle nut so I left it all alone and managed to push the cup out of the axle. After you unbolt The cup has a useless shaft that does nothing but protrude into the diff and flip you off like a middle finger. There should be enough play in the CV joints that you can push hard enough to clear the protruding shaft off the diff. It may help o unbolt the sway bar but I didn't do it.
