Try shooting some penetrating oil in the axle end. Support the diff so the axles are vertical and shoot the oil in the lower axle. Let is set of a while, swap ends and do the same to the other axle end. The water & crud can get inside and cause the clip/ring to stick. Let it set for a day or two before trying again. This assumes you took everything out as a unit. If not jack up one side of the Trooper and spray, let set, then jack up the other side. They can be a pain.

Prybars always worked for me. One one each side and pry in opposite directions. Make sure the axle is parallel with the ground. It makes it easier. But the first time can be tough if there is corrosion inside. Just when I think it isn't going to go....it pops out.

thanx for the advice guys Ill go see about borrowing that tool, my rear diff finally let go Im hoping its just the ring gear bolts I have Lennys upgrade kit to install fingers crossed!!!!!!

So another night in the garage and the axles are still on the diff yup!!!! Ugh. Soaked them in on blaster had a friend come over used pry bars wiggled them and nothing! I thought about hooking a chain to my truck and pulling it lol but that would probally not work with the t2 on jack stands! To think I thought rebuilding the diff would be hard! So who wants to fly to Mass and help get this done lol

I hear that a little C4 tucked inbetween the CV hub and diff will do the trick. :huh:

I had the same problem when I pulled my rear driveline for the first time. What I did -

I backed my pickup to the Trooper. I place a 4x4 wood post between a solid location on the Trooper & my trailer hitch. I wrapped a chain/strap around the driveline. I used a come-a-long between the chain/strap & the trailer ball and started taking in the slack. After I had A LOT of tension on the come-a-long, I tapped the head of the driveline (the part that was stuck) with a hammer. It came flying out. Be very careful! Next time the dirveline came out with just a pry bar.

I think Autozone also rents out tools. Try all the parts suppliers around you. A little c4 kills 2 birds with one stone. Pick up your axel on one side of your Trooper and the diff will be on the other side partially disassembled for you.

Lenny I think I will use the c-4 as a last resort lol.

Nocturnalsixer ya I saw a snap on tool guy yestarday he said he can get it but will take a week.

I have some bearing type clamps we use at the subaru shop to press bearings of im gonna try putting them around the axle and prying on that with even pressure if that doesnt work im gonna overnite the tool tomorrow

FINGER CROSSED AGAIN THANX ALL

When I couldn't get mine off I took a 2x4 about 4' long angle it from the opposite side put it on the bell part of the axle by the diff.and hit the 2x4 with a sledgehammer and it pop right off

Posted

I guess I was lucky, all of mine came out by hand with a gentle pull. Must be the wetter climate where you live Charlie. We may auto-ingite here in AZ but we sure never rust!

I think I got it. First tie the Trooper off to a tree. Hook a chain to the axel and the other end to a dump truck. Get another chain also hooked to the axel and leave some slack in it so you can make a long loop in. Get a couple of friends with 48" pry bars, an axel popper or two. Get another friend with a 2x4 and a sludge hammer. Then squirt a little WD40 into the bell followed by packing the crack inbetween the bell and diff with C4. After the C4 is in, use a bearing puller to put some initial pressure on the problem. I'm also sure you could find a place for the axel poppers which of course takes a couple more friends. Then, count down from 10. When you hit 0, the dump truck yanks while someone clobbers the inside of the chain loop with a pipe, The two friends yank on the pry bars. The other friend swats the end of the 2x4, which is on an angle from the other side, as hard as he can. A fourth friend beats the bell to shock it with a large hammer. Your last friends bang on the axel poppers. And all at the same time touch off the C4 and wammy, its out. Timing is critical.

PS. take a picture when the count reaches 0

Haha. Good ol Lenny.

I got mine off with an 8' pry. Nearly knocked my cheek off my face when it slipped the first time. Patience. And it helps if wife gets you angry.

Easiest way I found after reviewing all the posts was to rent a slide hammer and FWD Axle Puller adapter from Autozone. Slide hammer is part # 27033 and Axle Puller is 27058. Took me about 1 minute or so to pull each CV off the diff. Some went in 10 pulls and others took about 20 but all were rather easy. I pulled both front and rear diffs as I am changing gearing to Renegade and doing Lenny's rebuild kits. Pictures of puller is on my gallery.

      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      When we first heard the noise, we immediately stopped driving it...at first we thought it might be a linkage issue, but after further inspection looks like the sound/jolting is coming from the rear diff. Took a video below...
      Anyone know what is creating the diff to skip/jump like this? We drained the diff oil and didn't look terrible, no metal.
      Other info that may be useful:
      1400 miles on it
      Recently tightened the E brake
      P.s. never posted on this forum before, let me know if the video does not work

      I'm working on a 2005 Cub Cadet side by side and I'm trying to remove the front two axles.  I have a slide hammer puller on the inner joint and with all my strength they will not budge.   Anyone have the same issues and is there something I'm missing or a trick of some sort to pull these out?   Any suggestions please and thank you.

      Unfortunately my rear Diff housing cracked on my 2013 and I need to replace it or find a good used complete differential.  I think the same one was used from 2013-2016?  Any help or referrals appreciated.  Thanks, Gary  (949)370-2575 (in UT)
