I was disappointed to your phone call yesterday asking for a ride and hearing that you broke on Carnage. Glad I could give you a ride. But, I was also glad I decided not to go and do maintenance instead. It does make want to start carrying a spare axle. But how realistic is it to replace it on the trail?

Any special tools required for removal and installation? I hear you need 35mm socket and a pry bar? <hr /></blockquote>It takes about half an hour to replace an axle in the garage... so figure about an hour on the trail, but it's very doable. Just remove the tire, unbolt the axle from the hub (35mm socket required), unbolt the 4 bolts that hold the spindle to the lower A-arm. Pull the spindle off of the axle, and then pound the axle out of the differential.

Others correct me if I wrong, but couldn't have Mike just removed the inner boot and slide the axle out so that it wouldn't flop around? Then he could drive safely in two wheel drive..<hr /></blockquote>Yes, he could have disassembled the inner tripod joint and driven.... but only if the breakage occurred at the outter CV joint. Otherwise, there would be a piece of axle dangling and flopping around.

The ORS hub conversion is a no brainer. Just need money and time. If the parts are 1039.00. I wonder how much he charges for labor.<hr /></blockquote>For me, this boils down to pouring $1039.00 into the front IFS vs. carrying a $150 CV spare... or two.

Then again, I'm weird <img border="0" alt="[Alien]" title="" src="graemlins/alien.gif" />
