So, who is up to helping out maybe midweek or something (another downside to working weekends...) to swap out my rear axle shaft on my TJ...  I am not sure how to do it, but I posted on GL and it seems pretty straight foward...  Remove the dif cover, remove the break drum, push the axle into the differential, remove the c-clip, remove the axle...  Does this seem pretty complete?  I talked to my bro today and I guess they need the car back next week... but I can always use my parents car, although getting my jeep back on the road would be cool because its sitting in my back yard right now :-P

Thanks,
Cody

Fixed it for you.  It will take you longer to reseal and refill the diff than it will to swap the shaft.  I can't help tonight or Thursday night, but the rest of the week looks good.  Let me know.

Got it fixed already, the insurance "missed a number" on the check and so when they next day'd the right one.  I do however have to figure out how to install trackbar brackets... I know it requires drilling... lol.

Thanks for the offer everyone.
