I have begun the Front Axle Service. I have all all torn apart now and the old seal pushed back into the axle. It's been a whale of a morning. NOW I can't get the DANG retaining ring out. I used a six inch gear puller with the grabber fingers turnd out and leveraged it against a peice of 1" angle iron that I had acros the axle housing. I got good grip on the Retainer but just smoke the peice of angle into a bent up mess. So I went down to pep boys looking for a slide hammer they had one but it said it was good for light duty trucks. My application is a little more "Heavy Duty" So I opted to save the $100 and keep trying to figure something out on my own. Does anyone have any ideas short of taking the other wheel off and axle out and hammering on a rod from the other side. The wife is already a little worried about me haveing one side off. She is going to freak if she comes home this afternoon and I have the other side off.
