Diff disassembly Q's


Recommended Posts

I've got a 3.9 diff that I'm pulling apart to have the spiders welded, but I can't get the stub bolts out. The head of the bolt looks like a male torx, an 8mm six point deep socket fits on it but it's 1/4 so I can't get alot of aciton on it. Any tips to breaking these loose?

You need the E10 torx socket.
Thanks! I've got the E10 on order.
I used a 1/4" drive 8MM deepwell on it...attached to a real impact gun...zipped them right out.
I did hit one side with the 1/2 impact reduced down for the 1/4 8mm but it broke the tip off my reducer! I'm thinking they're seized in, I got them bathing in liquid wrench now. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Thanks for the info!
