[QUOTE="Tom S, post: 8437, member: 623"] I am making a little progress on my project. This axle started out as a nasty greasy dirty mess from a 97 F-350 with 225k on it. A tired worn out truck. After a serious dose of pressure washing and degreasing. [URL=http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2591546790093096422UDwnyq][IMG]http://inlinethumb27.webshots.com/48026/2591546790093096422S600x600Q85.jpg[/IMG][/URL] It took a while to get it torn down. The spindle on one side was very tight. It took a large wide chisle and a 2lbs to get it started. Then I used a large slide hammer and a spindle puller to remove it. It took a lot of hits from the slide hammer. Definately going to use some anti-sieze when it goes back together. The axle U-joints definately came apart with a bang in the press as they were tight. This was also my first time doing this style of ball joints. I discovered the Harbor Freight ball joint press works OK. The adapter is does not have a large enough hole to the stud on the bottom ball joint though. I was able to make it work with some large washers once I got the ball joint started moving. I am now in the process of refinishing it and resealing it. I have some of the parts sandblasted at this point [URL=http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2256019080093096422LYNWmb][IMG]http://inlinethumb31.webshots.com/6814/2256019080093096422S600x600Q85.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2997653520093096422ABIYPT][IMG]http://inlinethumb05.webshots.com/48964/2997653520093096422S600x600Q85.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
