Its just from the people who make the polyurethane bushes when I looked at their photos ....and thought maybe, as I really are not looking forward to the job dropping the diff out. When I have just replaced the front one the others will not be far behind, changed all 3 110,000, 165,000 and looks like again at 208,000, The front driveshaft rear CV joint goes about the same time...so I will be doing that at the same time as well, this time around. http://www.jeeperf.com/product-page/...al-bushing-set http://www.ausjeepoffroad.com/forum/...80ed58fa7b.jpg |
Looks like they just undo front drive shaft ,diff mount. axle bushes and rotate,lot easer, than taking all out ,maybe!!

Yeah, I am not going to bother trying to replace mine without removing the diff - knowing my luck it will just end in tears!
Every time I try to take the shortest route it ends up this way... Big day ahead, but I'm not that fussed. |
That pic is in a jeep with a super lift that could be the reason why, i tried it and spent ages trying too it's not possible (on a stock hight jeep), i even removed the LCA for more clearance then pulled one axle out and still no good.
The time i wasted trying to do it in the car i could have just dropped the diff out twice. |

Looking at the picture, Have to jack the car up, have to undo the mounts, have to disconnect the drive shaft.
Either way |
I've done mine twice without dropping the diff. It was tough doing the upper/passenger side one, but definitely doable... can't think of any specific trick other than having various socket extensions & wobble joints, and getting some good bruises on my arms.
I cut through the outer sleeve of the old bush with a reciprocating saw so they tap out easily, then press the new one in using a threaded-rod style press/puller (a proper one with with correct size sleeves, thrust bearings, etc.). Got Jeeperf ones waiting to go in, so I'll try to take some photos when I get time to do it. |
