    Want to borrow/rent axle/diff case spreader in Louisiana...

    I'm sure he has plenty of work, but he shouldn't have taken the cash and then given me a completion date EVERY WEEK. Honestly, it's a lot of both.

    Want to borrow/rent axle/diff case spreader in Louisiana...

    Had to get it towed to a mechanic on November 6th (ultimatum from head of household). That guy still has the truck, just started working on it this past week. I am not a happy camper about it. I wouldn't be so mad if he didn't say every week "yeah I'll have it back to you this...

    Want to borrow/rent axle/diff case spreader in Louisiana...

    My caps are marked "L" and "R". Saves me some trouble. All I'm wanting to do is just check to see if the seals need replacing. However, I need the stars to align so that I can have more than one person here at the same time. I also need a second pry bar so both of us can crank away. Still...

    Want to borrow/rent axle/diff case spreader in Louisiana...

    Just want the gears out so I can clean/inspect and replace any bad seals. There was water in it, so I imagine they're bad. I will get pics as soon as I have a second person available. So far I've gone solo on everything.

    Yep. All the way from 10 to 34p. Also have the dana 60 manual.

    Want to borrow/rent axle/diff case spreader in Louisiana...

    Put it in neutral, I'm not dead yet. Good sign. Unfortunately, now I got to get dressed for work. I did give the drive shaft a little turn, didn't make much of a difference. Tomorrow the saga continues...

    Want to borrow/rent axle/diff case spreader in Louisiana...

    I have the rear wheels chocked (any time a jack goes under any vehicle of mine, it's the first step... learned that one in the Army), and the front axle is resting on jack stands. Parking brake is applied. So, I SHOULD be good. Zero, this quote- "As long as you use common sense and put saftey...

    Want to borrow/rent axle/diff case spreader in Louisiana...

    For some reason I was thinking you wouldn't allow ME near the truck haha. Nevermind, I'm retarded. When my dad gets back, I'll have him hold the bar while I take a pic.

    Want to borrow/rent axle/diff case spreader in Louisiana...

    Dave, That's just harsh, man. Another question, and it's probably a dumb one. If I were to take the truck out of park and put it into neutral would- 1. I die 2. Break things 3. It be easier to rotate the driveshaft

    Want to borrow/rent axle/diff case spreader in Louisiana...

    Yes... However a buddy of mine who is a diesel mechanic and is familiar with the Dana 60 says the pinion yoke HAS to come out the back before the gear pack will come out the front. Have I overlooked this fact? I can't see that anywhere. I'm not one to argue, but nobody has mentioned it here.

    Want to borrow/rent axle/diff case spreader in Louisiana...

    This has been my pattern- Stare at it, curse a little. Insert pry bar in one of several places it will fit and I can reach (axle still attached to truck) Crank and bang Rinse and repeat. I've done this for just over a week now, and the only movement has been an every so slight rotation of the...

    Want to borrow/rent axle/diff case spreader in Louisiana...

    Still can't get the gears out of the pumpkin of my M1008. I'm in Rosepine/DeRidder, LA. I can't afford to buy a spreader, but if anyone has one in the area I'm sure we could work out some form of compensation. Please reply here, or contact me at- justinhcannonATgmailDOTcom or...
