If so i have a pair and it may save u a trip. -------------------- 1997 Autumn Orange GT vert 1996 Mystic Cobra 2005 95ci Harley Road King 2011 F150 Raptor Posts: 2139 | From: San Francisco | Registered: Oct 2005  |  : NonOpSlow2V ¯ Member # 6111 posted                              I was actually trying to give u this link in the fisrt reply lol my bad i forgot... http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=214805 -------------------- 1997 Autumn Orange GT vert 1996 Mystic Cobra 2005 95ci Harley Road King 2011 F150 Raptor Posts: 2139 | From: San Francisco | Registered: Oct 2005  |  : Captain Obvious ¯ Member # 7842 posted                              first take off both tires/drums (just the drums NOT all the springs and brake crap), then take the diff cover off (use 1/2" socket). Rotate the axle until the cross pin bolt is in view (its a 8mm not a 9mm like in the write up) just a warning that center bolt is one tight SOB, try and use a 6pt over a 12pt wrench/socket. Once the bolt is out remove the cross pin, push the axles in toward the pumpkin to gain clearance for removal of the C-clips that are holding the axles in. once the C-clips are removed the axles will slide out. its simple but messy. -------------------- It's NOT illegal. It's just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane.
