    LMFAO tell me thats not the ONLY way to swap gears. That axle has to slide out without pullin the tubes off

    It does some how. Its either got c clips or axles are bolted to tubes.

    the front does not use C-clips like the rear. you have to take the axle tube apart because the passenger side shaft is 2 peices. the smaller piece shaft in my first pic will not allow you take out the carrier so it needs to be taken out that way. the drivers side uses a small c-clip to keep it in.

    i think theres a way to pull the axles out of the housing w/o taking the tubes off the chunk. Just doesnt make since to have to do that just to put a new axle in if you were to break one.

    there is only one axle tube and thats for the passenger side. the shaft is two pieces so that you can disengage the axle when in 2wd.
