I used a 2-1/2" grade 8 bolt and alternately pinned it between the u-joint and the axle housing and turned the steering wheel back and forth (turned off). Pops right out!

Its not the tar hollow area. Its on the other side of Mcarther. There is so much around there its not funny. Its at the hunting reserve in Mcarther.
No name that I know of. There is a hill climb a few miles in that got the best of me. There was a wrangler with 35s that would not even attempt it, just watched me fail about 5 times and have to back down through the trees. The main trail through is not as steep as the hill I was making, but there is a huge rock mid way up that throws you into the bank. Did not want any body damage, yes I am girly. If I had lockers front and rear with meaty side lugs I may make it without body damage? But I have some awesome trail tires now and I am certain I can make the hill I was attempting thats off to the side.
Funny thing last time during my last attempt. Got 3/4 of the way up the hill, lost traction and slid back to a 2ft tree! I was trapped, so we took a hand saw and about 30 minutes later had the tree down so I could go back down the hill
