Axle shaft replacement
I want to change out my axle shaft and replace them with a set of chromoly axle shaft. I want to do this myself. I just saw this on youtube is there any thing different with dyna 44 TJ then the JK and this is now easy it is? Dyna 44 front axle shaft is 30 spline?

Pretty sure the TJ is slightly different. That said, it is really easy to swap axle shafts. It's something you can do on the trail in under 30 minutes. You just need a large socket to remove the hub nut. Google "jeep jk axle shaft removal". I won't mention the first page that comes up, but it gives you a step by step. You can also get the install instructions for RCV shafts online. Same exact steps.
Only word of caution is to take it slow putting the new shaft in so you don't damage the inner axle seal.
