Topic: So I'm Pissed!!!!! Pictures Added

Way to call us out when you have very little info on the matter.  

Like I told Austin when we spoke earlier today, if we had a short side inner on the shelf, it would have already been in a box and on it's way to him. Unfortunately due to Alloy not handling their warranties in a timely manner even when it was still Alloy, some of our previous inventory was sent out to keep our customers on the trail at our cost versus the company carrying the warranty.

So as you have so eloquently put it, I could not get Austin a shaft off our shelf because we have already "taken it in the nuts" many times in an attempt to take care of our customers.  We are not happy about the situation but there is nothing we can do as the new Alloy has shown no interest in bringing these products back to market.

The bottom line here is you can't blame the middle man. Marlin has done everything they can to help me out. Alloy sucks.

I didn't start this thread to bash Marlin what so ever and im sure some of them are running the same axles and are now in the same boat as me. Just a crappy situation over-all. So hopefully Bobby Long will stay in business and I can stay happy.

CruzrDave and Freds40, Are the marfields still under warranty? Or are those also an Alloy products? Just trying to figure it out. Thanks, Austin

Well got it out. The only problem is it took out the oil ring(or whatever it is called) inside the axle. So I still have to drop the third out. Thanks Freds40 and zukjunkie13 for the advice. I ended up buying too small of pvc so I hammered it on the broken inner then tapped it out with the 1/4 rod from the back.

Well now I have 2 new tools that take up no space and cost about $4 total, but proved to be very necessary in removing this shaft. The PVC pipe and steel dowel.

PVC Hammered on


Metal dowel through the other side. Its 1/4 but i think 3/16 would have been better to slip past the centershaft in the ARB.


The finished product.


The oil retainer shubbadubb bent and broke inside the axle. Bobby Long told me to get rid of these. If they were not there I would not have to drop out the 3rd member.

Sheesh Austin... you did a doozy on that sucker.

Nice tips you guys on how to get that out.

With the ARB there is only enough space to slide a very thin(less than 1/4" dowel) past the pin that runs through. I had to grind down the 1/4 dowel I bought. Here is the thingy-bobber I never knew was in there, so I took it out of both sides.



Luckily my HP ARB and Diff were fine.

Well looks like all the "10 Year warranty" stuff has been taken off the site, my work here is done. Can I have a Chromoly inner now?

Sorry Austin, missed your post about the birf. I'm not sure how long ago you bought them but if it's broke, give me a call and we'll figure it out.

Warranty still stands on the UM06

Cool thanks for the response my birfs are still intact, but just wandering if they were made by alloy or not.
