Todays wrenching

[Krazyfj]

Tom, use a very bright light and look carefully, it is just a hair line crack and not easy to see in poor light.
Take your time and keep nipping away at it, once you've found it it's easy to follow around.

I was going to try to force it with a breaker bar or long pipe, definitely cut past 1/4", should I cut more?

 

[plfj40]

i think 1/4 inch should be enough and u should see the line, if not try to turn it with a long pipe.

[Krazyfj]

Yup I just had to look closer, I bolted it in the truck aligned it, then used a breaker bar and a hammer with an angle gauge, worked beautifully, I tend to over think things too much, it really was easy

 

[plfj40]

They unbolt you know, you don't have to hit it with your head until it comes off.

I needed to remove the rear shaft on that tan truck that was out back.

I removed the 4 bolts at the rear diff, set the e-brake, and then removed the 4 nuts from the transfer case flange.

I paused a minute, not having ever worked on this truck I thought about the possibility of the e-brake not holding the truck as I didn't know for sure it worked.

Right then the drive shaft fell on my head.

Luckily the e-brake works or the truck would have ran over me after wards.
