What I'm doing is trying to get the e-brake assembly off of the rear axle to put it on the Dana 60....but to slide the assembly off I have to pull the shaft, the e-brake assembly is too big for me to get a good hit with a hammer on the shaft to knock it loose, with out damaging the e brake...and it's hot as shit in my garage...lol
