Got the Axle shafts out today. Looked all over town for anything that had 7/8-14 threads and all I got was the one lone nut I found a couple weeks ago. Big box stores, little box store, construction equipment and auto parts. No one had it.
I remember that I had a few dumb bell weights so with those, some all thread and that one nut I finally got them out. Only took about 3 or 4 good whacks to do the job.
Should the pinion gear assembly lift off at this point or I need whack it also?
I really have no desire to dig into this thing. I am just opening it up and make sure there is not old gunk in there and then planning to put it back together. I will replace the seals and bearing for the shafts but that is all. Everything else seems to be OK.
