About to tear into the 94 to swap in a 4.10 3rd member. Going to do the c-clip eliminator while I am at it.
I never tore apart the TTB yet, and am having mixed signals over how to get the diff removed. :scratch:
I have heard a couple ways to achieve this....
1) strip both axles by removing the hubs, brakes & spindles. Remove shocks and coils. Remove sway bar. Remove both Radius arms from frame mounts. Remove pinch bolt, and all diff bolts. Pull diff straight out and remove C-clips. Pull Axle out for the clip eliminator.
2) strip both axles of hubs, brakes, & spindles. Remove shocks and coils. Remove sway bar. Remove only one Radius arm, (use a come along to pull the RA out of the mounts by attaching it to the beams & a post, if you still have rivets). Do not remove pinch bolt. Remove all diff bolts. Droop beams all the way to allow the 3rd member to come out.
So, which way is better? I was told the 2nd method is tons faster, but have never seen any posts explaining this method.
