well I started tearing the axle down to put new hubs and brakes on it and just before I was going to the parts store to pick up all the new goodies I spotted a leak under the dif, I decided to investigate and led me to find that Im pretty sure the front is seized lol. I tired moving the yoke by hand and then tried a big pry bar and nothing, so Im gonna tear into it further and see whats up, but its starting to look like I should just get another front end. I love how working on a truck can be like opening a can of worms some times
