This past week i tweaked my front axle in my cherokee. I have a 1996 Cherokee w/ a dana 30 front axle. I hit a washed out creek bed while in the desert and it pushed my axle out of position. I just need to know how to pull the whole axle out, because my dad has an old Cherokee, and we're going to swapy his front end into mine. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

 

un bolt all steering and control arms and swap

 

u forgot DS and brake lines

 

wait.....


Before you start unbolting stuff figure out what got damaged. A dent/broken bracket or control arm is a lot easier to repair/replace than an entire axle.

And....

What is the donor rig for the replacement axle?
Year, make, and model?
Does it have the same gear ratio?
CAD?

 

I found it the easiest to unbolt the control arms from the body instead of the axle.
