Need you guys help! I took the front axle off of the frame yesterday no problem. Just wondering about the rear axle. Do I need to remove the leaf springs then then axle? What are the proper steps to removing the rear axle.
Thanks in advance
Brent

Thanks. But what about the whole chunk and all. Not just the axles you are talking about.

Previous owner had cut part of the front body mount off on the drivers side. So I repaired it yesterday. Have to say I think it looks pretty good. I am getting better at this welding thing. ;D

Axles

So I broke my front axle down yesterday. What can I use to clean the inside of the chunk up with. I want to get all of the dope and gunk out of there and put new dope in once I inspect all of the gears. You guys got any suggestions on how to clean it up?

50 years of mud and gunk gone. One step at a time.
