The stub axles just pop out of the diff. You do not have to take it a part. When I first got my truck and it was IFS I used two pry bars to pop them out.


You don't have to remove the snap rings on the ends of the stub axles(they call it a side gear axle)?
Like it shows here

You do not have to pull the axles to change the press-in bolts to regular bolts, just knock them out with a hammer.


Then that would mean I could undo the 6 nuts holding the IFS axle to the diff pound out the studs and replace that axle.(the boot is cut, that's why I'm doing all this sheet)I wouldn't have to move/remove the lower BJ and the disc assmbly. That would save lots of time and cussing.
Thanks I'll try that.
