Removing the stock over the axle pipe?

[BlackNine]

Anyone got any tips on removing the damn over the axle pipes? I tried jacking up the diff and putting stands on each tube but i couldnt get enough clearance, anyone got any ideas?

Get the car as high as you can.

Undo your shocks.

You might be able to get them out after this.

You'll probably need a lift.

Jack up the car and put the stands under the car as high as they will go , then remove the jack and put it under the rearend and lift it up a bit . Then remove the lower shock bolts and sway bar end links , at the top then lower the rearend . You are now ready to remove the over the axle pipes . Just did it two weeks ago. LOL!

Saw? Unless you want to use them again.

Oooh, forgot about the swaybar. Good catch.

I jacked the car up as high as it would go, unbolted them and rotated the front end of the pipes down and towards the back of the car. They came right out.

You removed them to the rear of the car ? I did it to the front and my car is lowered . I had to drop the rear no matter what . The tube wouldnt fit between the pinion and the fuel tank .

I have a man crush on anybody that can get those pipes out without a lift. I had to get the car on a lift to get mine out.

I had to hit them with the palm of my hand once or twice. They came right out. Then I put the 3" Magnaflow pipes back in the opposite way.

Car is lowered 1.5" and I was still able to remove them while on jack stands. Put the car on stands as high as possible and let the rear down (I didn't have to unbolt or remove anything). The passenger side is the hardest. Take the front end and move it towards the ground and towards the driver side. Keep fiddling with it and it will eventually come out towards the front. Although I've done it about seven times, I haven't figured out the exact sequence, but if you keep at it, it will come out.

Did you take yours out the rear or the front ?

 

[Kaldar142]

i pulled mine out towards the front of the car

 

[05stroker]

i pulled mine out towards the front of the car

I wonder if I had trouble then becouse I only lifted the rear of the car and not the front?

 

[Kaldar142]

hmm, possibly... i had the whole car jacked up
