    I also started to convert my transmission to 2WD, but I'll have to wait until I get the axles attached. The gears are spinning when I try to take off the last few parts so I can't get them loose.

    I'm waiting on some backordered FFR brackets to assemble my rear suspension, so in the meantime I got my control arms and trailing arms cleaned up.

    You can use a long blade screwdriver and “wedge” the gears inside the front axle I put shaft splines to keep the tranny from spinning whilst you use an impact gun to remove the subject nut. Same from reinstalling it with the 2WD conversion part.

    If you’ve not already bugged Bob in shipping at F5, he and I have exchanged many emails and think they shipped us the POL parts for the upper IRS brackets today via FedEx

    Don't forget to take out this top bearing race. You don't want in bouncing around in your transmission.
