I thought I was going to have to replace the whole rearend. I could not figure out any way to get a drill bit square on the bolt. You just saved me so much hassle and heartache
That is absolutely amazing! I resigned myself to grinding off the end of the pin and then backing out the last threaded part of the bolt together with the rest of the smooth part by grabbing it with vise grips to turn it. This way works the best. An older guy tried showing me how by trying to weld on to the bolt but found out this was a great way to booger up the threads in the diff. I will definitely give this a try next time. Thanks!!
Holy cow, you the man!! Thanks for the video as I'm home for the month due to COVID 19 and going to buy the Yukon kit and then buy 2 pinion shaft retaining bolts.
Just happened to me. I rounded the bolt head using a 8mm 12point socket then after using a rip socket I fount the pin had broken off inside too. Double whammie
Ive allways just used a scribe and catch the end of the broke off thread and spinn it out ive done at least 5 and nun of the threads were messed up so came right out
My crosspin came loose I guess and locked up the rearend. The bolt broke in two places I think. And half the threads remain stuck. I don’t know what to do. I tried drilling it out but it wouldn’t dig in
The bolt should have blue loctite on it. The problem isnt it seizing. Its not put in with a lot of torque and it is constantly in oil. The problem is the forces the crosspin places on it. It just gets weak. Thats why it always breaks at that same spot.
@@cvsahara Correct. The reason I am asking is because I replaced my axle seals the other day and had to weld a nut on the the old bolt to remove it after stripping the head. The new bolt i bought came with red thread locker already it and I happened to put antiseize on threads. Honestly not thinking or knowing better. Now I'm concerned that the bolt could possibly work itself out. Should I be worried is my question.
Where would get the drill bit, lows harbor fright or about any where you buy bits. First take old bolt, clamp in vice, use short bit drill hole through broken bolt, screw broken bolt back in hole, take long bit run it through hole you drilled in broke bolt. Simple ever day mechanic work. You can buy the long bit at harbor fright for 2.99 better buy a couple. Heck when i was doing mechanic work, simple things like this was ever day work, after the wrecker picked it up at home owners house where they had already broke the bolt. Plenty of times the easy out will not turn the broken bolt out, but easy out will break. Then you better know how to stick weld. But 8.8 axle is common, in about ever ford built, from mustang all the way to f150 same rear ends. As last resort drill hole out with 5/16 bit which will destroy threads, screw new bolt pin in as best you can, braze around bolt head so bolt can not come back out. You could always melt braze off if you needed to remove bolt . You may come across one already been done that way.
@@cvsahara I'm just needing my wheel bearings replaced. Dude that looked at it said he needed to get that bolt of to do the bearings but never heard the before
@@dodgeram98. yes, that bolt would need to come out so he could remove the c clip. Otherwise he wouldnt be able to remove the axleshaft to get to the bearings.
@@noeicaza404 the axle was not being used. I pulled this axle from a ford explorer that was junked so i could regear it and put it under my jeep wrangler. Nothing was wrong with it when i got it so i assume it wasnt making any noise. I only regeared it to put under my jeep that runs oversized tires.
I really do need to put together a follow up. It is done and I have been riding on it for a couple of months. I was in a huge time crunch to get ready for a ride and didnt film what I needed to to make a coherent video. I may at least do a conclusion video this weekend. You arent the first to mention wanting an update!!

Holy crap man! I had this happen 2 years ago and just went straight to the junkyard to pull an entire rear end! This needs more advertisement!
sir it worked for me. you are a national treasure and must be protected at all costs. subscribed!

Thanks info saved me alot of time looking for an answer.
I'd like to thank this man for showing this!
Holy cow, you the man!! Thanks for the video as I'm home for the month due to COVID 19 and going to buy the Yukon kit and then buy 2 pinion shaft retaining bolts.
Hell yes! What a let down when this happens...great video! Thank you!
Hero! In the middle of a wheel bearing replacement on 2006 Lariat Super Crew and then this happened! Tell me where to send a 12 pack!
Just happened to me. I rounded the bolt head using a 8mm 12point socket then after using a rip socket I fount the pin had broken off inside too. Double whammie
AWESOME! This just happened to me so ima try this out! Thanks for taking the time to make this video!
can you preheat with a propane torch before attempting the removal of the bolt
That was a good video a real world problem, dirty, broken, really how you find these issues. Thanks
Mine broke today just like that. Thanks.
I have this problem, i need that kit.
Whats the link to get those tools im having trouble on the rear axel of 2009 Chevy Silverado
Thanks will do on s10 rearend!
will it work on a 1/4-20 bolt?
Ive allways just used a scribe and catch the end of the broke off thread and spinn it out ive done at least 5 and nun of the threads were messed up so came right out

How do you get the pin out if it broke past the threads
You ever figure this out? Got the same problem.
@jackpalmer1562 nope just went with another differential
Please size of the bit I use ... THANK YOU.
I Damn sure want one of them!! I can put it to good use on a 1989 F150 Diff.
Can I use anti seize on the new bolt?

Hell I can't even get that far. I'm trying to get the damn bolt off and it keeps surrounding off. Suggestions?

You dont has to mess with that bolt to replace the rear bearings do you?
They are c clip axles so you have to remove the crosspin to get the axles out in order to remove the diff
@@cvsahara I'm just needing my wheel bearings replaced. Dude that looked at it said he needed to get that bolt of to do the bearings but never heard the before
@@dodgeram98. yes, that bolt would need to come out so he could remove the c clip. Otherwise he wouldnt be able to remove the axleshaft to get to the bearings.
How did you find out the cross pin was broke?
I was in the process of regearing the diff and it broke when i tried to remove it.
@@cvsahara thanks for answer. An other question did you hear any noise before that happens ?
@@noeicaza404 the axle was not being used. I pulled this axle from a ford explorer that was junked so i could regear it and put it under my jeep wrangler.

Thanks well done
Great from Sweden
KITS OVER A HUNDRED NOW,LOL
There is a $33 option on Amazon. Check my Amazon page in the video description for a link.
So where is the follow up video?
I really do need to put together a follow up. It is done and I have been riding on it for a couple of months.
