'74 Camaro Type LT, circa 1985.

I used a 4ft piece of 3/4 i.d. pipe to knock the seals out.

Damn, as usual your explanation makes a lot of sense. I guess I did a bunch of work for no reason. It was still a good experience. Thank you.

Hmm, is that not a possibility? The FSM states: "Install axle shaft assembly into the housing and differential side gears. Avoid damaging the axle shaft oil seals in the axle housing." I figured I somehow damaged the seal.

I thought the purpose of these rings was to not allow the splines on the axle to damage the diff seals. This one time, at Band Camp, I replaced an axle ujoint. Short time after that I had diff fluid coming out the axle. I had to go in and replace the seal that I knicked. I was more careful...

A jack under the pinon or spring perch, depending on which way the axle needs to rotate. In this case a bottle jack under the front of the spring perch should line it up.

I've had the same experience with cupped front tires.

Was everything torqued down with the weight of the Jeep on the suspension? It is hard to tell if the rear swaybar bushings have been replaced although the links appear to have been replaced.

Technically on the side of the road, but cool.

I purchased a full set of control arm bolts from them. Quick shipping and well packed. No complaints.

The other Kroger lot.

I believe this is a '65 Corvair Monza. Kroger parking lot.

Liquid wrench the exhaust collector bolts before hand. Once I had the fender off, it wasn't that hard to get to the manifold lower bolts. I think there were still one or two that I had trouble getting torqued properly when reassembling. Make sure the intake manifold is flush to the head...

Now that's a familiar sight.
