[QUOTE="brokenparts, post: 1420443, member: 16751"] Got a bit done on the front axle. I needed to get the arb in, upgraded axle/joints, and replace the inner seals as the passenger side was leaking. First I got the axle pulled and torn down: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v146/eeshnab/1007415417_photobucket_15927_.jpg[/IMG] Then I talked Justin (jnau99) into helping me (or me trying to help him is more appropriate) install the arb as I had no idea where to start. We popped out the old carrier and then proceeded to try to pull the seals. My HF puller wasnt up to the task so Justin did some quick repair work on the POS... I cant believe he took the time try to save it but it works a bit better now.
