Removing the rear axle assembly.

[Missing Linc']

Like as a whole, I figure since I need the axles ect from the donor car that Ill just throw my calipers/rotors onto that one and leave it all together. Is this possible? I know for sure that the exhaust has to come off, disconnect the driveshaft from the rear diff, but I dont want to mess somethign up with the suspension. This is going to be done in my driveway, on jackstands. Think it would be easier to just pull the axle shafts, then the diff leaving all the suspension components together? Is there a write up on this??????

Preciate itttttttttttt!

From being under there, I don't think the exhaust would have to come off.. It would be the same procedure as your wheel bearings but once you get the shafts out, lower the diff. I think I've looked this up on ShopKey before and it was like remove shafts, lower diff...

I can take a quick glance for you today and see what I find.. Unless someone beats me too it..

You do not have to drop the exhaust. Here is the thread where I posted up pics. I dissasembled as far as you would need to. Although I only had to pull one axle shaft to get the pumpkin out. What I could have done to make it faster was leave the hub all together and pull it out with the axle shaft all as one unit. I disassembled a little too far, but it only made a little extra work for me.
