Rear locker axle shaft help

[american outlaw]

Hey,

I cannot figure out how to get my rear axle shafts out to do my wheel bearings... I don't think it's an ARB locker

I thought that screw aligned with the metal dowel would of let it slide out, but the screw was only like half an inch

What does a homie do to get the shafts out?

It is an ARB. Take allen head screw out, there is a pin that holds the cross shaft that needs to be removed to get C clips off. Once allen head screw is out the end of the lock pin has threads, use the ARB tool or a 3" #6 or #8 screw to reach in, thread into end of lock pin and pull out. There are old threads on here about creative ways to do that if you dont have the ARB tool.

Man, every video i watched they just had a perfectly reasonable pin that pulled right out when the unscrewed it... never would have guessed

The oem cross shaft retaining pin is a long nose on the bolt, the ARB method is s bit different and it has been known that the ARB pins wont come out requiring surgery. I have gotten them out with a large magnet and vibration.

I am curious, are you running a rear housing in the front ? I did that years ago and noticed the dual ring gear windows ? I welded up the unused ones on mine.

Had the oem pin that locks the cross shaft break off at the end of the threads. Had to buy a right angle drill and fish out the pin with an easy out.

All this on oem toyota carrier which is similar in that regard.

The retaining pin popped right out when i fished it out with a 2mm Allen key (was curious if the pin was installed backwards, and it slid right out)

pretty sure it was the passenger side rear bearing that went bad cause IT DID NOT WANNA COME OUT AT ALL, or push in to get the C clips out.

Its a rear axle in the rear of the vehicle! The PO rotated it 180 degrees to line up better with the Small block chevy and the Turbo 350 tranny. I decided to drop off the shafts to get the bearing collars (rises?) replaced... everything i saw online said I had to cut them off and I just dont have the hand dexterity not to **** it up
