Hey guys i am trying to pull my birfs out and i got the short side all the way out but the long side seems to be hung up on something...i'm not quite sure what any help would be great. i was reading that it could be a bent axle? the truck hasnt been wheeled hard so i highly doubt its that. again any help is appreciated!

There is a flat spot on top and bottom of the knuckle..Try lining them straight up and down and it should come out.

 

haha thanks i know that much i'm not completely helpless....but is there any other reason that it wouldnt come out?

 

Quit being a girl and pull harder

 

 

feet on the leaf springs and pulling as hard as i can!!! it feels like i'm gonna pull the truck off the jack stands it shouldnt be that hard because the short side came out like cake! there's somethin up and i jsut dont know what!fw

 

maybe try to rotate the drive shaft to see what happens?

 

if youre trying that hard with the flat side lined up you have a bent axle. ask how i know.

 

that sucks to have a bent axle but it was just stuck....i used a pry bar (got advice from somebody who's worked at a dealership for 20+ years) and he said sometimes they get stuck and to use a pry bar and put it in the top trunion bearing hole and give the birf some extra leverage and it should pull out....and it worked! thanks guys!
