Im out of ideals Iam abought ready to strike a match and burn the ---- thing anybody have any trouble like this?????????????? any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Everones so helpful here on this forum

 

give it time....

 

I have smoked 2 cvs on my 04 700 and as of tonite 2 front differentials without your problem.Is your front diff smoked? if it binds up awful things happen on one side or the other just a thought.

 

When you first took the shaft out of the differential, did it have the proper resistence?
If it did, then I would wonder if the replacement parts are wrong. Possibly too short?

 

Thanks for your help itstillruns and Idahovinnie, the differential is ok. when i put it together the first time and rode it all that happened was i seen where the shaft was out of the differential about an inch. 4 wheel drive worked ok, also when i tore it down the first time i had a really hard time getting the shaft out of the diff so im thinking like Idahovinnie maybe the shaft is to short. I would test this ideal if i could get the left side out i've tried but with no luck. I browed a slide hammer from a friend it didn't have the right ends on it keeps pulling off the yoke.I guess Iwill end up taking it to the shop, If yall have anymore ideals please post. Thanks again for your help

 

Different models (year) different length shafts better double check. when measuring check compressed length and uncompressed. Take care!!

 

On the end of the splined shaft is a groove for a snap ring,is that ring on?. To get the other side off, use a large pry bar or screwdriver stick it in between the U-joint and yoke and pry outward against frame should release with a little effort and some PB Blaster or Wd40 when you reassemble, a little anti-sieze is agood idea Good luck.

 

what I meant with snap ring is ---is part of the ring still in front diff?
