The unbroken one would protrude out of the boss by about 3/8" to accept a hex nut to set the adjustment. SOMRTIMES, you can get lucky drilling it with a left-handed bit, the size for a screw extractor, aka Easy-Out. Your next task!!! I was afraid it was broken It looks like a good candidate to weld a nut on the end. Any idea if that has been tried before on this bolt? I've used the weld a nut process multiple times in the past with pretty good success. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pic below is another method but yes as mentioned be carful since you will have the more fragile "star" hubs. Being a neub you probably don't have a spare junk hub tho. You can try the puller you pictured but with extreme caution. If it don't feel like its gonna go lightly don't push it. 2nd pic ask me how I know. My way now is to try and get what appears to be the easiest one to get off. Then split the cases which allows one to disassemble the differential and get the other axle out and to a press. getting hitch pins out and hubs off are a rite of passage here. Any issues STOP ...set the wrench down and slowly step away ... and use a shout out. That is great advice...I just wish I was better at following it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You do need to get the shifter out first. Here is another thread that has videos of the process. This video is for a 4 speed which means the brake drum is on the cluster gear shaft instead of the mushroom gear. The only difference between your trans and the video thread. Check this out. I was wondering if the shifter had to come out before splitting the case. Thanks for confirming. I'll watch the videos this evening to give me a feel for what I'm getting into. Thanks! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
