Honestly, I think it's easier to just replace the whole thing.... not too pricy...

While it's out, take a vice or C-clamp and press the studs out of the stub shafts sticking out of the differential, and replace them with some bolts and nuts. I know you don't like to think about this... but next time you have to do thsi job (sigh) it'll be a lot easier to get those CVs out.


I agree, just replace the entire unit. That's the route I went.

91 SR5 Xtra Cab, 298000km, 4" lift, 56" rear springs, 33-12.5R15 BFG Mud-Terran T/A KM2.....and an '85 axle still waiting to go in.
