Gloyale Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 How do you install the new front axels on a 86 GL 4x4 without the special tool noted in the factory service manual. anyone got a fix for my problem? Are you tyalking about the tyools to pull it through the hub? You may find that it just slides through. If not, pull the rotor and hub off the knuckle so you can see the Bearings. Carefully pry out the seal, then use a couple pieces of angle iron and some washers to make a bridge across the opening, and use the castle ut to pull it through.

86BRATMAN Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Or if you are meaning for the spring pin at the tranny side you'll need a straight punch. I can't remember the size off hand, but it IS NOT 1/4 inch, that will get stuck real quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiftedEA81 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 The only special tool i've ever had to use: Oh, and to remove the pin use a 3/16" punch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
