Good times! Here is what I came home to. A broken Chromoly short-side inner. The problem is I cant get the other half out cause it broke in the middle! Longfields here i come.

Ordered longs 10 min ago! and no warranty on the axle since Alloy changed owners.

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

How much were the longs all said and done, if you dont mind me askin?  Did you get the chromoly hub gears too?  Reason i ask is I've never broken a birf, but worrying about it has me on pins and needles every wheelin trip.  I know its only a matter of time and i want to start savin now!  Thanks

there is a trick that most of the time works (may take a couple trys.) get a pvc pipe that is about the same diameter as your shaft and run your wirefeed welder wire on the inside of the pipe, and once it touches the shaft the wire will be stuck on it and you can pull it out. like i siad it takes a couple trys.

or

you can get a peice of 1 inch flat stock and and grind one end to about 1/2 inch about 4 inches long and stick it in through the opposite side and get it through the arb, and tap it with a hammer. that usually works for me when i had to do it. if you want you could swing by my place and pick the one i made up and borrow it. cause it works really good.

Great advice! I pulled the other side out and was going to try to tap it through. but if that doesnt work I will go with the PVC thanks bro!

No prob! glad i could help. ive done the tapin one on rear axles alot. so it should work

[zukjunkie13]

oh one more thing. i know you toyota guys like to back the knuckle full of grease. but you dont need to do that. it just makes for a mess when you have to fix something, all you need to do is pack the birf. thats all i have done for 6years on my grey zuk, and i have never had a problem. like i said it makes for too big a mess and it really doesnt do anything.
