How can i remove my front axle?
Either my front axle tube OR my axle c's are bent, I have too much camber and instead of just guessing and repairing, im going to replace the whole axle from a JY donor since its only $40 for the whole assembly.
Do I need to have any special tools to remove the front driveline since its 4WD? Also, do I need a spring compressor, or will they just loosen up as I remove all the other suspension components

+1 for ball joints... replacing an entire assembly instead of parts is a little over kill...
Never mind you'd have to replace ALL of those parts on a JY axle anyway.

just keep in mind there is a difference between early 99 and later 99 axles.
they require different hub bearings and rotors.

Not quite correct. The hub bearing and rotors are a matched set, the rotor type used requiring a different stud length (bearing). The axles are identical.
