| removing third member
Hello, I need to remove my rear third member from my fj80, factory locker, and I don't have a service manual yet? I am not having luck finding an article on it. Can someone give me some advice or a link for instructions?
thank you

| The gist is: - lock the rear locker before you start
- drain rear axle & have cold beverage
- remove both rear axles
- remove rear driveshaft
- disconnect locker wiring and vent tube
- remove locker motor protective cover
- remove all but one nut from the 3rd member
- take brief break, you may need it
- remove last nut and prepare for one heavy lift, if you're doing this on the ground think bench press
- have another cold beverage
Reassemble in reverse order. I don't have my MM handy so I can't tell you the torques or the P/Ns of the seals and gaskets. All in all it's not a difficult job. Remember to clean everything really well before you go back together and have fun.

| 8.5 - Slip a floor jack under the third member before you remove that last nut.

| The third weighs about 75 pounds. Not too bad.

| A brass hammer will come in handy in removing the cone washers that hold the axles in. You'll need a axle nut socket as well. Some have used a Dana 60 front hub socket (I think) or you can buy the OEM tool from Dan. rear axle service photos Rear axle service - FF http://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.p...304#post432304

| so what happens IF you didnt lock the axle first? 
can you still pull it all out.
do you have to take the actuator off before the chunk will come out?
im getting mine read to do some gears.
