    Axle (s) rebuild thread, gears and lockers

    Haha, damn, well that could do it! Any damage to the hub surface? It's not smooth and hardened like the thrust race.

    Axle (s) rebuild thread, gears and lockers

    Not sure the detailed function of the power divider, I can tell you that I can lift just one intermediate or rear tire and with brake off they will free spin (and spin the driveshaft). I don't have lockers though

    Axle (s) rebuild thread, gears and lockers

    I swapped my vent and supply CTIS stuff for polyurethane tube and push connect fittings. Much easier to replace if issues arise in the future. Note that the adapters on the frame bulkhead seem to have some kind of thread lock on them so kind of a pain.

    Watch out on asphalt with this style, the sharp legs can sink in.

    All depends on the quality of your jack stands. I haven't found it to vibrate excessively that I can't have it on a jack stand while running.

    Axle (s) rebuild thread, gears and lockers

    Correct, and with the lockers, if they default to locked, I would remove them from the equation by lifting up both intermediate axel tires if you have to. However if they are unlocked and you lift both tires, one will sping forward and the other back while the driveshaft doesn't spin (depending...

    Pull and wiggle essentially. There is a spring clamp holding them in. https://graphicvillage.org/meritor/TP02102.pdf

    Axle (s) rebuild thread, gears and lockers

    I've heard that happens although mine have come off with the hub so far. I also made my kids learn welding for the hub nut 😄

    Permetex black (oil resistant) has worked well for me for my 12 hub swaps

    Axle (s) rebuild thread, gears and lockers

    I like playing devil's advocate and since we have a lot against the 2:1 I'll give some advantages of keeping them: 1. 1/2 the torque on your drivetrain components upstream of the hubs. In extreme scenarios you are way less likely to break something. 2: It takes much less time for engine to get...
