I know I might get flame for this, but what tools do I use to remove these? It has a thread or a string like attach to it.

 

I am astonished that you have gotten those parts off the car to the point you have and don't know what those things are. They're called "cotter pins". You straighten them out, pull them out, remove the nuts and use a ball joint popper to separate those parts from the wheel hub.

 

professionally, use ball joint remover..

in getto way, you can use hammer to get it out. make sure you put the nut so you won't damage the thread and start hitting it w/ rubber hammer til it pop out.

i highly suggest using ball joint remover.. it's simple, faster and safer.

 

Thanks for the info as I already removed one of the ball joints w/ the popper.


Anyway the differential is already off the car as you can see. I manage to remove the left side axle, however the right side axle is still attached. I stripped 1 side of the bolts and the other side is not stripped yet. Is there any other way to remove those bolts from the axle?

 

lol talk about doin it the hard way.

moving to UTH

 

You know, all you had to do is pop the lower ball joint, and swing the whole knuckle/axle out of the way. 5 minutes tops with the right tools.

 

Thank you all for the tips. I already removed the axle from the differential. Moderator you can delete or close the thread.
