Third member flange

[Machete]

I just got some third members with 5.29s and realized after I put them in that the bolt holes do't line up with my drive shafts. I'm havin' a hell of a time gettin the flanges off so I can switch them. Any easy solutions for this?

[brainlessfool]

you could weld'um

[brainlessfool]

Sorry bout that theres no ez way if there REALY on hard.  maybe a puller?

[Machete]

Thanks anyway. Think drilling new holes is a good idea?

Just drill new holes 45 deg. from original holes using your drivesahft flange as a template

YEAH    KOTA , why did'ant I think of that? oh yeah, I'm a brainlessfool

I kinda like the weld on style too !!

Ya I would redrill the flange too, but why is it so hard to get off there? That is kind of disturbing  well as long as they don't howl run them

The biggest poblem is getting the flanges off the thirds that are no longer on the truck. They are hard to keep from spinning aroung when I try to losen the nut.
I'm not really sure if I can drill the holes well enough, so I'd rather swap flanges.

[Machete]

I may have a friend who does.

[brainlessfool]
