when u get in situations like that where its hard to get it in, pull it out, walk away and take a break, clear your mind get a drink. come back and analyze and figure out a better way. also u shulda removed that support bar, would been much easier to maneuver around. dont wanan force that in therelike that .
I am replacing my rear axle bearings currently, but am curious how hard is it to get to the inner axle bearings? I am working on the rear not the front, I have a 97 wrangler sport, with a dana 35 rear diff. I am wondering if I could do one side at a time without having to remove the entire carrier.
@w8tlftr4u Ya you would have to take the diff out of the carrier and the axle shafts out. well as far as I know any ways the inner bearings are on the diff. I hope it went well for you! Let me know how it went!!
@442olds1972 Thanks for your reply ,I initially took my ride to a trans shop and they said it would be 2-3g to fix my diff without even opening it, I learned watching alot of vids and replaced the outter axle bearings and taking all exposed apart freaking a little when the spider gears fell out, but I figured it out ,I replaced the pinion seal as well was leaking, putting the proper tork on the pinion nut was a guess game I went 1/2-1 turn futher than prior. alls great fixed for 120.00 bucks!
@w8tlftr4u You should have just went with a Dana 44 or a Ford 8.8 Rear end. The Dana 35's are junk. If you ever consider doing any major 4 wheeling or getting a locker you'll waste your money on a Dana 35. I put a ford 8.8 rear axle in my jeep and a eaton elocker and has been great.
next time you pull it out or take it apart keep it in one peice or seprate from each other so you no exzactally how it goes bck together

You could of put the carrier w/ring gear in the freezer over night and that would of shrunk it a little.

@btarrh I didn't have the time, But it's a great idea thanks!

@btarrh Actually the best way is to just get a pan and put your bearing in it and put it on the stove on medium for 5 min. works great.

oh and how the hell did you get the diff. out without pulling the axle shafts out?
itsmee770 3 years ago
We all ready had the axle shafts out. I was driveing the jeep for a week before the spider gears got here.
442olds1972 3 years ago
it would've went right in if you had a housing spreader.
