Thank you. We just inherited a 89 Ranger with the same front axle. We will be rebuilding the entire front end. I have never felt with a TTB axle before. This video was a big help
I cannot for the life of me get the axle to slip out of the splined yoke before the 2nd ujoint - like you do at 13:28 . 1993 f150 4x4, Dana 44 (5.0 4EOD). I moved the boot away from the connection, there's about an inch of play in the axle before it abruptly stops, like it's hitting something, but everything's clear. Did you have to overcome some sort of retaining clip inside the splined slip fit? Yanking at basically 100% (great idea, I know...) has gotten me a few more millimeters, but nothing like it's ready to come out. Thanks for the great video.
thanks for the comment Guccimanggg. i dont recall a clip, the spline was not groved for one when i show it to the camera. such a long time ago. i think th boot was the only thing holding that one in place.
@@elh4x4doinstuff49 thanks heaps for the quick reply. good point about the spline not being grooved on camera - although I see now there is an indentation about 1/2 inch back from the splines. I'll report back if I figure it out.
@@elh4x4doinstuff49 Got it out!! Indeed is a slip fit, just super stuck and grease vacuumed together. Getting it out took all of... - much penetrating oil - torching the outer slip axle - using a come-along on the axle end (and a conveniently located tree) - me hammering the outer slip while buddy cranked the come-along and wiggled the axle (...making sure the truck was VERY sturdy on the stands while I was under it...) Stoked. Thanks again!
Did you mention to the customer not to baja there f150 any more? Looks like it had irregular wheels and tires on it? Plays hell on ball joints also. Good video overall

thanks for the comment Rich Seaman. glad the video helped.
Sir excellent resolution and clear explanation. Love my 96 with the 4.9! Thank you.
thank you for the comment Jamal. i often wondered if the video settings were good enough and not looking like i recorded it with a potato.
That is a hard job. It may look easy but it will definately make you ache the next day.
thanks for the comment 53imperial. i was aching before i started.
@@elh4x4doinstuff49 I bet you were. I ache just thinking about it. All bent over and straining for about 4 or 5 hours per side.
I’m in the middle of one right now!

i think you are referencing the area where the small part of the boot is clamped to the axle. dont give up Guccimanggg you got this!
