I'll second or third or whatever the axle seals at end of axle after sealing up the block off plate. However I also say if you aren't running a much larger tire to just mechanically lock in the axle disco and leave the two piece in. It's good enough for close to stock tires.

There was one way back when but it got deleted due to some political reasoning I believe.
It had my drama, Mike's drama, and Garrett's drama.
35s :dunno:
Then I would get a whole new front. Seen a handful snap at the cover ate at that size.

Yup. I've pulled 1 ton axles out by myself there. Dana 30 is a breeze

Sounds like the Springs peeps need to have a junkyard run. The U-Pull web page shows four potential donors. While you are there, look under the back of that '87.

I'm pretty sure that none of the brake parts on your existing axle will work on the more desirable donors. The Unit Bearings and outer shafts changed in 1990. There is another change in Unit Bearings and Rotors (I think) in 2000.

2000ish is correct, there is some bleed over so it is possible for a '99 to have the newer setup, but not incredibly common.

They're not hard to pull. Picking them up takes an effort. It'll take a cart or wheelbarrow to get it to your vehicle. Even in my old age, skinny, decrepitude I can still manage to horse one around.

Any special tools needed?
I'm thinking 1/2 socket set and a impact gun
sawzwall?
u-pull in the springs should only be $115 for the complete axle? They tried to screw me over on a trim piece for my geo because it had a light in it they wanted to double the price

Check their web site they may have changed the price, but that's what it was the last time I pulled one. I'd bring a breaker bar and some wrenches (up to 21mm). And a big hammer of course.
