First off, just wanna mention that TRS is an awesome site - chock full of info and very useful tid-bits!!!
my question: I have an 1985 (09-1985) ranger 2.9L D28, she's 25 years old and it looks like the front-end has never been apart! I have had some growling/grinding noise when in manual hubs locked in - I suspected spindle bearings (which it was) I have decided to take the repair a little deeper and do the u-joints just for fun! Having one heck of a time separating the right axle shaft from the stub shaft (at the keystone clamp) Just moved into my house with a nice (read 24X24) garage but not "set-up" yet. Any tips/tricks would be very appreciated !!
