Unbolt the strut from the rear hub?

You need to pop out a cylinder tyle pin that hold the axle to the diff. Then just pull outwards, they pop right out. I think the pin comes out one direction.

try www.scoobymods.com for something. you can e-mail Peaty about this too. Peaty is the man.

the pin goes through the axle and stub axle , you have to get a punch or something to pound it out . It will look like a litte dot on the green end on the axle, it is located near to the diff . If you spin the axle it should be easy to see.

cant seem to find a pic right now tho otherwise this would be alot easier to explain.

are you sure you're supposed to pound on that? would pressing it out make sense or is that portion pretty tough to break?

I see where this went wrong.

I meant to say is how do you pull rear axles that go to the hubs from the differential off.

I have not seen a way to puch out anything.

Do I need to open the rear diff out?
