What tools and sockets do I need to change out front axle shafts on JK dana 30?
Going to wheeling trip next week, have spare shafts, what tools do I need and what sockets do I need to do the entire job if need be?

I believe that the procedure and the tools needed are the same between the D30 and the D44. Obviously the axles are going to be different.
Hope this helps.

21 mm for the calipers, 5 mm for the abs sensor, 35mm for the axle nut. 13 mm 12 point socket for the bearing bolts, make sure it is a 12 point and not 6 they are a bit tough to get to. You can use a 1 5/16" socket for the axle nut also. A big breaker bar is also recommended.
