Default Need help!! (pics)

I have been trying to put these studs on for almost 4 hours now and no luck. There isnt enough room for me to put the stud in. How do I remove the hub?




also trying to install intrax lowering springs in the rear. The jackstands are under the frame and the rear end is hanging loose. Everyone says that you give a little tug and they come out. NO, i have been prying the **** outta them for a while and they wont pop off there little perch.

You need to remove the Axles!!! This requires opening up the pumpkin and removing the C-clips.

I believe i read the other day that you take out the abs sensor and you can slide the stud through the "access hole" where the sensor should go

....thats what I was afraid of. Do you know of a diagram or a write up of which bolts to remove?

I think that is for the front not the rear. There isn't a sensor on either sides.



-----Also does anyone know why the springs wont pop out like everyone else's?

unbolt the bottom nut on the shock - that should give you the extra inch or two you need

I already disconnected the PHB. Should i disconnect the sway bar links? I have been prying the **** outta them! Ill try it with some help tomorrow.

So, I remove the diff cover and looks for c-clips, remove them, pull out axle enough to put studs in, re-install c clips, make new gasket for diff cover, then re-fill diff?

Check if there is a hole you may have to rotate the ends to line up the stud hole and you can slide it in from the back. The fronts are easier theres no lining up in front.

use a big flat screwdriver or crow bar and slip it under a part of the spring at the bottom to see how much tension there is. Should be able to lift it a little and slide the bottom off the perch.

I was using a big 3 foot crow bar prying it out. For some reason its not setting all the way.

I dont have the c-clips because mine is the Moser 12bolt. All I think I have to do is loosen the 2 bolts on each side of the diff?? Sorry trying to be extra safe because this is my daily driver and dont wanna do this twice
