@Mr10inchnail please stop hating in public and then asking for advice in private messages. There are only 2 pieces of good advice you will get from me: #1 Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, and #2 don't shit where you eat.

[Mr10inchnail]

why didn't you show how to remove the knuckle ? and you never show how to pull the axles or remove the axle clips ?

@Mr10inchnail Check out my other videos to figure out how to remove the axle shafts. The knuckle comes off with a big hammer or a sledge... Hit downward!

Hey Mat, thanks for the vid. Am going to do my 96 and wasn't sure about how to exactly go about it. You make it very clear. Thanks dude. Mike

HOLY F!!K.... Just finished 2 ball joints of one knuckle... Sweating like I just got finished swimming. Thanks for the video....

@kervyn There is no need to remove the dif cover. There is not enough fluid in there to spill out as long as everything is level.

Matt, thanks for the heads up.

I was planning to do the same but it is real helpful to see the process done first.

As to hammering them out........well you just bent the axle yoke open.

See the comment below...LOL

Well done.

Thank you for making these videos, I'm building up my axles and I had thought it would be a lot tougher than you make it look, thank you for putting your experiance in front of a camera to make it look easy so the rest of us without your know how will have the confidence to do our own.

I got real hi-tech on the bottoms with a 20lb sledge ...I hate that cheap ass autozone tool .
