Rear axle shafts

[E4wd]

I just recently picked up a set of Spicer chromoly rear axle shafts for my 23' 4xe Rubicon. Anyone replace theirs on the 4xe? Literally couldn't get the shaft to budge, ordered slide hammer and will try again after arrival. Any updates or knowledge would be appreciated

Your local auto parts store will likely rent a slide hammer for free.

Remove brakes, flip rotor, thread 3 lug nuts by about 3 threads, profit. Turns the lugs and lug nuts into a slide hammer. I think I got that from the regear videos.

Put the rotor on backwards and then attach the lug nuts, but not fully tight. This will act as a poor man's slide hammer.

Also ensure all of the bolts are out of the back of the hub.

As you can tell, the shafts are in there tight as its supposed to be.

We literally posted this at the same time.
