I also promised to send the removal instructions for the front axel shafts
without removing the ball joints or knuckles.
1. Loosen the lug nuts and large axel nuts while vehicle is on the ground
2. Jack up the coach to free the front wheels, I put 2 jack stands under
the front cross member
3. Remove the 6 bolts from each drive flange with a 7/16" 12 point socket
4. Remove axel nuts,and wheels
5. Remove shocks, making sure that A-frame is supported, I use a service or
bottle jack on each side.
6. Remove left axel by jacking up a-frame enought to slide axel out of hub,
by removing innner end to the front and up, than turn steering to the right
and pull axel out from behind the hub.
7. Remove right axel by removing oil filter and position the steering wheel
straight ahead. jack up the a-frame enough to slide the axel out of hub by
removing inner end ot rear where filter was and pull axel out through filter
area.
8. Install in reverse order.
9. Torque dirve axel bolts 75ft lbs,k drive axel nuts 140-280ft lbs, shock
nuts 80-95 ft lbs.
