Last winter my 4wd was inconsistent going in and out and I've verified everything except for the shift fork. At nearly 200k I figure the pads are done for or at least severely worn so I'm going to replace it before the snow flies.

Doing research on the procedure, it looks fairly straight forward but I was surprised there isn't a step by step diy with pictures anywhere. I found many threads describing the procedure and 1 incredibly vague YouTube video but that's it.

My plan is to unbolt the CV, then the axle tube and pull it out to replace the fork on the bench. Not really looking to drop the entire diff and from what I've seen that's not necessary anyway. Anyone that has done it, any tips to make the job easier?

 

Bueller?

 

I've done it any questions I can help you out I took a few pics along the way

 

Helps a lot....why did you decide to take the diff cover off?

 

Replaced the fluid in front and rear diff

 

I see...can you explain the procedure of removing the pin from the top of the fork?

 

You are gonna have to take a pic when you get to it it's been two years if I remember I took a small punch and gave it a few raps with a ball peen
