take a big screwdriver between the axle and transmission and it should just pop out.
if it has 4 wheel drive ,yes.Brought many a ford 4x4 home on front wheels of 4x4 when i damaged the rear drive shaft mudding.
you dont, if you want to disconnect it then remove your front drive shaft.
yes. you need to take out the front end and bolt it on. then take out te transfer case and front drive shaft.
I assume you are talking about a four wheel drive vehicle. If you have a transfer case that lets you select between 2 and 4 wheel drive you can remove the front shaft with no problem. Many later model vehicles do not let you chose 2 or 4 drive-- they have a limited slip unit in the transfer case. If you take out the front shaft in one of these, the rear shaft will not work.
You have to remove the drive shaft and take to to a machine shop. It has to be pressed off Rob
No, the end of the cv shaft is what holds the wheel bearing together.No, the end of the cv shaft is what holds the wheel bearing together.
tAKE THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT LOOSE AND SEE IF IT STILL DOES IT IF IT DOES ITS THE FRONT CARRIER ASSEMBLY IF IT DONT ITS THE TRANSFERCASE
The center shaft in a 2-wheel drive transmission is shorter then a 4-wheel drive transmission because the 2-wheel drive does not have a transfur case on the back of it. NOW, You can take the center shaft out of the 4-wheel drive trans. and install it in the 2-wheel trans. and it will now work in the 4-wheel drive vehicle. To change the center shaft requires both transmission to be taken all the way apart.
if you remove rear drive shaft, you can still drive on front wheels. just be aware that the vehicle will handle differently on take off and cornering as all power is going straight to front wheels
Yes, this will be safe to drive then in 2 wheel drive.
Get in the grass or gravel and floor it. If the front tire spins it's front wheel drive. If the rear tire spins it's rear wheel drive. If neither front or rear spins, take it out of park!!
Sure you can. Though you don't get much wheel travel because the CV's tend to be far apart or off center, and the shift shaft will probably end up pointing out the back of the vehicle.
