    Broken Axle - Outback ( way outback )

    Most of my genuis was earned, often laying on my back in some briar patch or struggling to keep hydrated in the bloody FL heat and stifling humidity. I've done the filter bypass with an inline and the fuel system bypass on the same truck at the same event. Destroyed a transfer case on the way...

    Broken Axle - Outback ( way outback )

    My question would be on the cans. Wavian has quality cans. Some of the Chinese cans are really crud. That spout is definitly one of the cheaper ones. I do use one of those but with 5L cans and for motor oil. I think you could likely get there using scepter cans and parts. Let me scrounge a minute.

    Broken Axle - Outback ( way outback )

    JPG has a good suggestion but let me offer another thing to try before you go that far. Get a cheap see thru inline filter and use it to bypasss the factory filter temporarilry. They are prone to leakage and the clear filter will sure show you bubbles. There is also an aux pickup tube outside...

    If you need inches to a couple of feet, you can move the back sideways with a hi lift jack but everybody probably already knew that.

    Broken Axle - Outback ( way outback )

    For what it's worth, I've had situations that could have been handled differently but I had it in my mind that my way was the only way. Once done I had no regrets either. I would embrace the challenge of swapping out a rear axle assy in the bush but I also know that they just aren't that...

    Broken Axle - Outback ( way outback )

    A number of years (decades) ago, we were out wheelin and one friend was.climbing super steel hill in his 71Chevy when it pitched the rear lift blocks out. The truck collapsed on top of the axle on the hill. Broke lots of stuff but we were able ro remove and reinstall that rear on the hill...

    Broken Axle - Outback ( way outback )

    Doable but challenging. I think I would fabricate a way to attach one end of the diff to the RZR and fab up a mount to attach wheels to the back and make the axle into a trailer. Take either a torch or a good quantity of batteries to operate a grinder with cutoff wheel or recip saw and bring...

    Broken Axle - Outback ( way outback )

    For clarification, what part are you calling a pumpkin? Were it my truck, here is what I would do. Pack in all the hand tools including a long rod capable of reaching the broken axle. If the broken axle is still in place, support the truck and remove it. Remove cover and the bolt that...
