Finally found a few minutes today to remove the axle bearings out of my 8.25 rebuild. It's amazing with the right tool (thanks advance) it only took 5 minutes. I'm also very impressed with the bearing size of the 8.25 axle bearing. Yet another reason why the 8.25 is so much better. Tomorrow I'll give the yoke, yoke seal and yoke bearing a try. Any tips?
Jack the vehicle up
Put long breaker bar on nut (if looking at vehicle, the breaker bar should be going to the right, so when you lower the vehicle, the weight of the vehicle is the force on the breaker bar.
I just typed all of this ande realized the axle is out of the vehicle...

For the yolk, what some people do is;
Jack the vehicle up
Put long breaker bar on nut (if looking at vehicle, the breaker bar should be going to the right, so when you lower the vehicle, the weight of the vehicle is the force on the breaker bar.

you mean an FSJ? They're wider then an XJ, and leaf springs all around. You can make em work but you have to weld on the bits.

Think I'll just stick to my plan of an 8.8 swap and beef up my HP D30
And I may be buying a red 2 door tomorrow. He has one guy looking at it and if he doesn't take it I'm next in line. Keepin my fingers crossed. I already told him if the guy doesn't take it I will.

This might just be my topless build
