here are some pics of the passenger side ttb u joint replacement.
here's the wheel removed
this is the locking hub removed
this is the spring clip that holds the locking hub assembly in,there is another on the axle as well.
here's the spindle nut
here's the tool to remove the lock nut and bearing nut.
i kept every thing in order in a tray to make assembly easier.
here's the spindle.what a PITA to remove
here's what it looks like with the spindle removed,and the spindle.
here's the axle removed
couldn't remove the the yoke's for the center u joint so here's the tool i used to remove the u joints while the yoke was in place.if you do this get this tool makes the job a lot easier.
here's the center yoke in place,not much room,but that toll does fit
took me about 4 hours to do the passenger side,waiting on parts to do the driver side will post more pics,but should be the same as the passenger side minus the center u joint.
BTW thanks Quaddriver for the links,they helped a lot
