Helpppppp when trying to replace the rear axle seal in our 94' B2300 we ran into some troubles. first we could not firgue out how to remove the part of the wheel with the lug nut screws sticking out (were you would put the tire) to even get to the axle seal...or does that not come off? and should it have a little play?
we are assuming that this piece does not come off and therefore started taking apart the differential...while trying to do this we ran into more trouble. the screw that holds the spider gear pin is stuck and now rounded off. how in the world can we get this off? and are we doing the correct procedure to even get to the rear axle seal?
I am no expert on this axle but I have removed stuck, broken bolts by welding a washer on them. I then weld a nut to the washer. Doesn't this rearend have c clips holding the axle in place?
Thanks for the tip on stripped bolts. I don't have a welder, but do you think JB Weld would work? And yes, there are C-Clamps, but I need to get the spyder pin before I can get to them...
