rear axle swap
i was wondering, when you change the rear axle, what all do you have to change, can you use the stock differential, or do you have to change that, can someone give me the once over on everything you have to change to swap into a different axle,
thanks,

What exactly is it your trying to accomplish? If you stick with an axle with the same spline count, then you can use the same differential. Did you break one, or are you talking about putting in a set of Mosers or similar? I just had mine out today changing the axle bearings and oil seals while I'm doing my gear lube change. I am getting a new pinion shaft bolt for sure. I hear those things are a PITA to get out if they snap and have read several times to get a new one if you take the present bolt out.
