Hey guys I am about to remove my right axle, A guy told me before i slide it out i have to engage the 4x4, to keep the shift forks clear of the axle, is this correct? If not what is the rite way to remove the right axle on A 1999 ram 1500 4x4 thanks

 

I would take the whole CAD assembly off, that way you have no chance of messing it up.

 

Hey guys I pulled the right axle out and changed the u joint, then i noticed sliding the axle back in that the sliding sleeve that locks the axle, fell down so i had to remove the whole vacuum assembly, but the two bottom bolts snapped, then i snapped, so I guess tomorrow I will put some heat to the studs( what is left of the snapped bolts and hopefully they will come out . now thinking about it i should of left the truck in 4x4.

 

same thing happened to the bolts on my CAD too.. except all 4 broke.. i was trying to change a axle seal when it happened.. so shes still leaking [:@]

 

If the heads of the bolt broke off you can pry the CAD out. The bolts are only threaded into the axle itself, not the CAD. Get a big screwdriver or prybar and get it out, then put some vice grips on the bolt and get it out!

 

I got the snapped bolts out by heating up the axle area were the bolts snapped thanks, Darren
