help from those w a service cd?

So we bought my dad's axle yesterday, and took the wheel off and had some honda buddies come over to help... well we took one look at it and was like HUH?? so... my question is... how do we change the axle? like what do we have to remove suspension wise and what not?


oh yeah, on an offset... since my fam has aeros from 93-95... if i tossed some bones to some one could they burn me a copy of one of those cd's and mail it? i'd pay for it all... or help me find one on ebay... i keep finding them on there but they never specificaly say they have aerostar info on them.

thanks alot!

Ryan

If you find a service manual CD on Ebay that says "Ford Trucks" for the year model you have, that'll include the Aerostar and lots of other trucks such as Explorer, F150, etc....

Well, I'll try to tell you how. I have no service cd, but old chilton's cds.

First, your aero must be on jackstands under the frame railes.

You are to unscue propeller shaft, unbolt shoks, unscrue spring retainers and remove springs, disconnect brake line, unscue all arms from axle and carefully tow back axle.

when your axe will be pulled out, put it on jackstands and off wheels.

Install wheels on new axle and put it under the van.

Well, see worn rubber insulators - replace them.

Bolt all controll arms to all 3 points.
Install springs.
bolt shoks.
connect brake line.
Use self locking nuts.
install propeller shaft.
Bleed brakes.
conduct a road test....

Just kidding, I ment lim.slip diff.
