muddeprived · Dec 10, 2007

I need to pick up a steel punch to get the tension spring out of the center shaft in the front dana 30. What size punch? I've done this before but at my buddy's garage and using his tools so i wanna get my own punch but dunno what size it was.

what are you trying to remove/replace/install???

we might be getting our terminology mixed up or maybe i'm having a brain fart, but i'm not sure what you mean by "tension spring".

are you talking about the roll-pin that retains the carrier cross shaft in place?? i dont know the exact size, i just grab the one i always use from the punches/chisel drawer.. maybe 1/4" ??

Right. I ended up using some steel rod (8-32) and got it out. I was removing the aussie. I didn't know the correct term for it so i searched the web and a writeup said "tension spring" so i went with that. Sorry for the confusement.
