714banshee380 Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 I'v been reading other peoples posts about how removing the axle was so hard. I was scared but went outside knocked it out in 15 mins. the problem I have is the spacer, hub, and cotterpin/nut, are all fully tightened but there is alot of play. I know for sure it doesn't go hub spacer then nut but I don't know why there is so much play. I ended up usin some conduit rings i had layin around and popped those in to fill in the space. (only washer type i had with big enough hole) Post pics when done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE GRIM RIPPER Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 They usually come with two spacers for each side.. A smaller one and a larger one. did you get 4 spacers? You are talkin horizontal play right? B/c if you talking clockwise/ counterclockwise play.... Your hubs are beat And btw, other people sometimes have problems with their axles b/c the bearings damn near almost weld themselves to the axle making the removal of the axle hell... Luckily you did'nt have that problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily you did'nt have that problem oh i get it now. I only received two spacers. I got the axle for 100 bux from some guy. But it's back together now. Ill post some pics. and I am really glad that i didnt have to deal with that crap and my axle popped out real easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolts are hard and seems like they've never been removed ever wait, having a hard time getting the stock ones off the shee? because when i was taking mine off to put the new ones on, it was a bitch! we had to take the exhaust off put the nuts on the bolt ( this was on the upper arm) and hit it with a hammer while i had vice grip on the head off the bolt and it took mad long and it was a pain in the ass! and that was all from the guy before me didnt grease the fittings . and when you put the new a-arms on make sure you antiseize the bolts spacer collar things and then put them on and greaze it good and you'll be set :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was a bitch. I had to take off all my pipes cuz i got so sick of it. Then I banged it up hard with a flat piece of metal on the thread.... only messed up one thread but had a tap and di set so fixed it up.

XxMeltIcexX Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Ya to get those arms off the spindles is the toughest part... Gotta abuse the hell outa that bitch to get them out.... A rubber mallet hitting super hard usually frees them, I did some last night come to think of it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
