Hey guys, I'm gonna fix the axle click this week. can you just remove the bolts bolted to the rear diff to remove the axle or do i have to remove the bolts holding on the bearing too? I know the 32mm has to come off but.... Thanks!!

 

Removal of bearing bolts not necessary.

 

Correct. Just remove the 32mm nut, it's torqued to 177 ft/lbs so I had to stand on my breaker bar to break it loose, then take out all 6 nuts and bolts off the axle flange. IIRC I had to drop the sway bar as well to snake the axle out of the hub.

All in all it's really easy, maybe a 2 on a 1-10 scale.

 

k sweet thanks guys, what did u use for grease?

 

Valvoline Synthetic

 

just regular motor oil? that worked? could i use royal purple lol?

 

No dude, I know they sell oil but they make a synthetic grease too.

 

That's what I used^^ and I've had no more click for ~ 12,000 miles since we fixed mine.

 

I just did this yesterday, I used a can of valvoline synthetic grease. Basically same as above, I caked it on the axle. Easy job! Actually it got much easier when I remembered u can rotate the axle lol, when I removed the bolts I didnt twist it to get to the ones on top, I jammed my hand in there lol and unbolted them.
