anyone been able to get the axle out of the hub without popping the lower ball joint? i have undone the top ball joint, tie rod end, clevis, and brake caliper, really dont want to mess with the lower ball joint. trying to decide if there is a trick or if it has to be done. any input would be appreciated. Thanks Robert |

Just remove the lower makes it was easier in the long run Removing it is no harder than removing the upper one |

Thanks, not really what i wanted to hear but it sure as hell will save me some struggling, i gave up on it after about 15 min of trying to get it out, i would be done if i spent that 15 min seperating the lower. so goes the story of life |

Just need to get every thing loose and hanging then hit the side of the lower a arm hard with a big hammer and it will pop right out. |

i changed both CV's and the intermediate shaft thursday in 50 mins. start to finish (including jacking up.. ect.) for the passenger i unbolted the bottom bolt of the sway bar, took off the axle nut, took off the lower ball joint, then took off the 2 bolts holding in the clevis fork and removed the clevis fork. NOW.. if you turn the wheel to the right you can get the axle/intermediate shaft out without taking off the caliper/upper ball joint/knuckle. Just watch you dont stress the brake lines. an extra pair of hands helps with that part. You just pick up on the knuckle/brake/upper A arm assembly and slide the axle out... then pull it out of the Diff. on that note.. the JBA shaved axles are awesome
