Not sure is this is what you need, but this is from the factory service manual:
3. Hold pinion flange (1) with Flange Wrench C-3281 (2) and remove the pinion nut. https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/atta...1&d=1197394006 4. Remove pinion flange (1) with Puller C-452 (2). https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/atta...1&d=1197394006 5. Drive pinion out of the housing with a dead blow hammer (1). https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/atta...1&d=1197394006 6. Remove pinion seal with seal puller. 7. Remove oil slinger (1). https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/atta...1&d=1197394006 8. Remove front bearing (1). https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/atta...1&d=1197394006 And here is a pic of the puller being used on our jeep when our gears were being installed: http://project-jk.com/gallery2/main....2_itemId=49547 |

ok that was pretty helpful but how do I get the first part of the flang off that connects to the driveshaft heres a pic..
I need to pull that sprocket off with the first flange. 2nd pic is called the prop shaft and the dealer ship won't tell me how to take it off. that part for ne1 that breaks it is 317bucks:crazyeyes: |
ttt new pics, talked to Donavee Jeep and there service tech would actually help me he said I need a special puller from Snap On:naw:

OK. On a Dana 44, drain the oil (there is a nice drain plug just for that purporse. Now, pull off the rear cover. Mark the bearing caps to ensure that you put them on the way they came off and then take out the bolts holding the bearing caps. Make sure that you note which side the bearing races and shims came from. Use a couple of pry bars and carefully remove the differential. GBuy or rent an axle puller. It works fine for pulling the pinion flange from the Dana 44. After the flange is off, you can remove the pinion seal, pull out the bearing and beat the pinion out with a hammer. From here on, you are on your own. The set-up is challenging and not something for the inexperienced. Get someone to help who actually knows how to set up the gears or you will be in a heap of trouble. Based on what you have written, I doubt that your friend is qualified. |

Just trying to help
OK. Let's call a truce, OK? No need for name calling. I used an axle puller that functions very much like the one wayoflifette showed in the pictures. Now let's be clear on what it is that you are trying to remove. Did you remove the 8 (I think there are 8) bolts that connect the drive line to the rear pinion flange? After taking the bolts out, I had to do some "persuading" with a dead blow hammer to get the driveline separated from the flange but I didn't need any special tools. If you have this off, then you should be faced with the pinion flange removal. By looking at your pictures, I am concerned that yours came apart where it wasn't supposed to.
BTW, I worked on a local Nascar for 3 years and would guess that I have performed 50+ gear swaps. Mostly Fords, granted, but I have done a lot of them. I really wish that our Jeeps had 3rd members. They are a LOT easier to work on :) |
Thanks!

Now, what are the chances that someone will design a kit to install 9" Ford diffs in our JKs? Think of the possibilities................ |
