Man oh man, my hands are in shock, and I still havent been succesful in removing it yet. If I had to twist the cap off a coke bottle, it would be impossible for me right now. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
The write ups were great, I'm either going to try and make a SST tomorrow or just take it to some shop and let them do the pressing and unpressing. Just makes me angry cause I have a 12 ton press and bench vise from my tranny rebuild project, just no SST <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> . Thanks for the help guys

Too bad north Texas is more than a side trip away from Littleton, you could borrow my 'SST'. Its a snap with that. Sure you removed the clips?

Ok I made the SST today at work and was able to press the shaft out in a few minutes. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Now I have bought new bearings and seals for both sides, figured I would do the other side while I'm at it. However I cant find the o-rings, I'm guessing the o-ring is just to keep dust out. Can I use some ultra grey silicone or something like that in the place of the o-ring? Another question after I finish this side of the truck, would it hurt to back the truck out of the garage and turn it around and drive back in the garage to change the other side, with no oil in the rear end. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> The whole process would only take about a minute to do, I just dont know if any damage will occur? Any ideas on how I should approach the o-ring and the other side? Thanks
