hey everyone. just found slop in my front yoke... im assuming it will be pretty straight forward to change them out but just need anyones input/advice on it...
pull carrier..pull pinion.. change bearings and press new races into housing along with seal... place pinion, torque to specs with dial torque wrench... check tread pattern...

is there anything else to it?
 
That is about it. You will have to pull the shafts first.

You will not be torquing the pinion to spec really as much as setting the preload so that it spins with a rotary torque wrench within spec.
 
Hey if you are interested I have two good axles coming out from under my stock 94 YJ for sale cheap if you are going to stay with stock gears and such. I you want both axles I could just bring you the springs axles, rough country shocks and all. You are welcome to all of it if you want them just let me know either through an email at cladetuttle@hotmail.com or call me at (803) three three four 2527
