It was a loooong day indeed. We managed to get the chunk out with the third in the truck. We used a long telescoping magnet and some prying.

The hardest part was jacking the truck up without squishing anyone. We had a tow strap from the 42 to the 60 and the 42's winch to a group of trees (with a tree saver strap).

Once the truck was off the ground, it was just a re and re. The job took longer than expected as usual but both Rigpig and I have experience in breaking rear axles so the work went smoothly. We finished up the job in the dark, winched and pulled the 42 up can-opener.

After we cleaned up, packed out all the mess and headed for home.

It must be the year of the axleshaft or something.:beer:
 
After we broke the axle shaft that time i carried a spare long and short with me everywhere i went.Lately i have got cocky and leave them at home to reduce weight but i think its time i put them back in cuz everything happens in threes???
 
good work guys. i think i was on the road back from salmon arm when this was going down.

and then next day i called cam and left a message asking him to 'just pop by' and help with my front axle oil seal replacement... in my nice flat driveway with light and room etc. don't i feel the wanker now. sorry boys.

i did look through the parts that steven left me, or that i stole from his garage while his mom watched. there may be some 40 axle stuff, can't quite tell yet.

yeah, there's a long side in that rear housing you left at my place, so maybe a shortside in chris' pile.
