I found a write up for removing the rear 3rd member and I am having trouble finding one for the front. I am in the process of doing this right now so any help asap is appreciated.

 

Need your rig information. If it's a 90-95 Truck or Runner here's the directions straight from the FSM

EDIT just noticed what section you posted this in. If it's a solid front axle it's the exact same as the rear except pulling the axle shafts involves a little bit more.

 

8" front also?

hubs and spindles need to come off. and the birfs/inner axles need pulled out a few inches.

ifs stinks for flex, remove sway bar

 

How was this statement at all relevant to this thread?

 

What is going on around here lately?

 

oops wrong thread

 

This would be a great time to replace that little axle seal in the knuckles. Since you're pulling the axles out a little, pull them all the way out and the seal is right there. If they don't leak now they probably will soon.

 

...and I would use the Marlin Crawler heavy duty front axle seal as long as you are replacing it.
