Default Front Axle removal
2003 Durango 4x4 4.7
I have a right front axle housing seal leak and I just can't get the axle out of the housing, so I can replace the seal. Did I miss something, the book said to pry it out from the housing.

it is held in by a snap ring. pry on opposit sides at the same time & have a buddy give it a whack with a mallet. the jolt under pressure should pop it.

I was using to 30"pry bars and it would pop it, but I'll try getting someone to smack it at the same time, thanks

It should just lightly pop out straight out?

Any recommended (or non-recommended) suppliers for front axle? 2000 RT (with AWD), outer boot torn and starting to make noise on turns.

Thanks.

Gus:

Give Auto Zone a try. I believe you can get one there with lifetime warranty for ~$80-$90 and returning your old one as a core.
