hardest part of a front axle install.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

is getting it out of the back of the car. I think the pictures speak for themselves. God bless the station wagon, but I miss my truck, unfortunately having a busted front axle makes transporting an axle 100 miles in the bed of my truck out of the realm of possibilities.

If you look closely at the pictures you will see that I had to jack up the rear axle of the car to slide the legs of the cherry picker far enough forward to get to the center of the axle.....and dirt driveways are not condusive to easily moving a cherry pick with a corp. 10 bolt swinging from it.

On the upside, if all goes well, I will be back on the road with DISC brakes before the end of the weekend.

I do have a question though, do I need to turn these rotors, or can I burn off most of that rust driving around?
