7.25 axle removal....HELP!

[roadrunnerh]

WOW. I am starting my 8.75 swap in my '75 Scamp. I want to use the packing plates from the 7.25. I can not remove the axle. No clips on these according to my '75 FSM, How the hell do you get these off? I am still working on the left side. Seems pressed in - I know it isn't.

I removed the 5 flange nuts. I put an old drum on backward and bolted her down. I have SLAMMED this with a BFH. HELP.

Sorry I'm not familiar with the baby diffs, maybe you need a dammit tool :jester:

Just looked in a Chiltons book and it should just slide out. As you stated there are NO "C" clips on this one. Can't imagine it being that tight in the diff. unless the outer race of the axle bearing has seized to the housing.

I DONT KNOW EITHER......DID YOU TRY A SLIDE HAMMER?

TRY A SLIDE HAMMER

X2.

And make damned sure it isn't a 8.25". You start mushrooming those C-Clips with a slide hammer and you could be in for a really protracted backing plate removal process...

I rented a "Powerbuilt axle puller" (slide hammer) from Advance auto parts.
6 - 7 slams and out came the axle.[attachment=2:14l8set0]7.25 A.jpg[/attachment:14l8set0][attachment=1:14l8set0]7.25 B.jpg[/attachment:14l8set0][attachment=0:14l8set0]7.25 D.jpg[/attachment:14l8set0]
