so, i know enough here to get myself in trouble.
here's the story:
1989 fj62, i found a factory full float axle from an HJ60 and i'm just about done swaping it in when the driveshaft won't bolt up. the HJ has a smaller bolt pattern than my FJ.
so, since my third looks to be in better shape than the HJ i'd like to just swap them. i have the FSM so figuring out how to remove my original third should be simple enough.
as i understand it you just unbolt the axle flanges, slide out the shaft a bit (how far?) then unbolt the center and it drops out?
what am i likely to damage on my "new" axle if i goof something?
how do i pull the third from the full floater?
assembly is the reverse of destruction?
i know i need a new gasket for the third, so at least that's a start. are there gaskets for the axle flanges?
thanks all
