    Best Locker for 14Bolt FF in 85 K30

    Passenger side axle stuck

    I have a 20 lb slide hammer I made, the axle always comes out. I would not hammer on the axle. As stated previously by Squaredeal, get a long bar run it through the other side and push it out that way. the spider gears will guide it.

    I bought a tall lift bendpak (70") for the same reason as RanchWelder. Mine is offset, and is is still a bit tight getting in and out, but no complaints from me.

    I have been the recipient of much good humored help on this forum, but as a machinist, and Like Ricko says "just because it's old, doesn't mean it's bad, and just because it's new, doesn't mean its good. I knew nothing when I started, now I know that, after 60 years of wrenching, 40+ years...
