FAD side axle remove and reinstallation

[roaniecowpony]

I'm about to tackle the passenger side of the JL to install Reid knuckles and was wondering the process of removing and reinstalling the axle on this side as opposed to the driver side? Any difference? Do I have to open up the FAD?

You'll be good to go.

You can pull the shaft out of that side just like the driver's side. It'll just be a short shaft up to the FAD. Nothing in the FAD will need to be touched.

Thanks. Got it done before dark. Checked alignment, it was within 1/16" of the OEM knuckles. Went on the test drive and it cured the shimmy I had at high speed hitting a bump.
