Ok, so I'm planning on fixing my rear ring/pinion tomorrow. This will be the 3rd set of 5.13's to go into my rear diff. The first two were done by a shop, so naturally nobody is touching this anymore but me.
In preparation, I was doing tear-down today so I could take readings and a pattern on the howling set to take back to the shop and try and get a refund if I can prove their install was incorrect. Minor issue pulling one brake rotor, but I'm sure I can find the hex flange lock nut I partially stripped (my fault, not the problem I'm posting about).
I am on the Passenger side axle shaft. My 2nd to last nut was taking forever to get off. I pulled the socket off, and found out the stud has come off the axle shaft bracket.
What do I do here? Notch the end of the stud so I can hold it with a flathead screwdriver and use a box wrench to get the nut off? From there do I need a whole new axle shaft before I can put this together or can I use something to re-attach it? It doesn't look like @AllMoparParts.com has the bracket. Here is their page, and that's the one part on the diagram not for sale.
I've got 3 people coming over tomorrow, and it would be a bummer if they can't ride in the jeep when we're done because I have to wait a week for a new shaft.
