It should look like that. Remove those 8 nuts and the shaft should slide right out.
xjnation said:not even close..........it has only 4 small bolts and 5 x 5.5 bolt circle. custom made...I guess Im gonna have to tear into it LOL
Okie Terry said:pics?
Figures.xjnation said:steel internal drive flange.....tapped it in and it has a coiled spring clip to retain the drive flange.........the reason I was working on it is because the rotors are very hard to turn......I was able to remove the drove flange and it spins freely.....so the wheel bearings are fine...put the drive flange in and low and behold it binds!....the drive flanges are milled incorrectly......nice huh!

At least it's an inexpensive screw up.
Kaczman said:Sounds like a sweet set-up. Did you weld the spindles, or did a shop do it? I hope a jig or allignment bar was used. Either way, you should be able to have the spindle cut off and re-welded to fix the problem.

Jeff 98XJ WI said:Just so you all realize, this axle he is talking about is custom made by Extreme Axle Sales in New York. They use weld on spindles that stock front Dana 60 hubs/rotors fit on. So, the make up of this axle would be just like a front axle, but uses a double splined axle shaft with one end fitting into the diff side gears and one end fitting into a drive flange. I believe the drive flange is held in the hub by a large snap ring just like drive flanges (or lockout hubs) are held in a Dana 44 front hub. What I think he found as a problem is that the double splined axle shafts want to sit offset in the spindle bore. I assume the shaft can be pulled straight enough to get the drive flange on, but then there is tension at the side gear and the drive flange, and consequently, the rotor is hard to turn. I'm really interested in what the final outcome is, so keep us informed. Jeff
