    Hi Simon, 40 plus years ago when I was turning wrenches for a living honestly I would have blown apart that front axle and replaced and rebuilt the whole entire unit. Parts were cheap and I loved ripping suspensions to pieces and not only rebuild but improve. I did it to my Elite and my Coupe deville. I know that the main premise of your channel is to work with what you have and I enjoy the silence and just the work. Oops and the cats. Great Videos Awesome Content Thank You 🙏

      Thank you. I wish I'd have torn apart the axle in the first place, It would've made a lot more sense seeing how much repairs it'll need in the end. I rolled the dice trying to save time and money.

    Your tenacity working with rusty parts is admirable. Your extensive knowledge and use of hammers and chisels would qualify you immediately as a top-notch Harley-Davidson mechanic. Turning those chisels into noodles impressed the hell out of me. You should move yourself and your girlfriend to Texas, we have plenty of wore out clapped out vehicles to work on, just minus the rust.

    I'm a car mechanic in Germany and have been driving old US cars for a long time. Since I also have to deal with rust a lot, I bought a sandblasting machine to make the old parts beautiful again. That would be a useful addition to your work on the old vehicles.

    Very well done video. Remember buying my first 4wd socket. 45 yrs. ago. Owner of the truck said it didn't need to be torqued. I told him to get the F--- out of my garage. Then he tried to poor mouth me on the bill. I locked the doors and he called the cops. We went to court and I got a lot more than if he would have just paid the bill. I was actually trying to help the guy. You can't fix stupid. Your work is excellent for what you do and how you do it. You even used the right grease. Don't know where you got the differential but that extra work is costly. Change the other caliper when you do the seals. Its gonna be jealous. LOL

    😻 great video. One tip is that two hammers are better than one. Hold one big one on one side of the arm and hit the other side of the arm with the other. You can also try synchronous hammering both sides at once. The ball joints pop right out because the two hammers more effective deform the shape of the taper.

    Never cared for the independent split front axle. Always swap mine out to a straight axle. Great job except you forgot the inner axle seals...I've made that same mistake.
    Love the silent work.

    Hello, armchair suggestion coming up 😊. If you're removing the whole assembly to do those seals, I thought you could consider bolting up the rear of the front leaf spring shackles first. As the two front ones are swinging, which may make it easier for positioning.
    Like I say, I'm sat here with a coffee and you're doing all the hard work. Obviously, you'll know what's best. Have a good day.
    As always, love your uploads.

      I’m keeping the axle in to do the seals, but that’s a great idea if the axle ever comes back out. It definitely would’ve made the installation easier

      Ah that's good to hear. These days I have to think ten steps ahead when doing work on the old cars, etc, due to this back issue. I do regret not respecting my back when I was younger. However, it is what it is and the sunshine today is just great. Love your energy and tenacity, its just palpable, look forward to your next upload 😊

    @simon, for freeing stuck fasteners, PB Blaster can be great, but targeted use of CRC Freeze Off is really helpful. Just don't breathe the fumes! 😂

      460 fuel mileage a bit pricy ... best to stick with the 300.. better torque per $ . Save the cubes for a toy.. keep the inline for reliable daily use. @SimonFordman

    Nothing like a big, high-pinion 60F up front. It's for grownups. Reminds me of my equally rusty '79 F350 -- I did every repair you did/will have to except for the limited slip. The thin locking hub O-rings let in water which might be why those bearings were toast. And for transfer case wellness, I'd take the whole front prop shaft out for the time-being.
