Damn, I spent the last two hours trying to get the rear portion of the front axle shaft out. The front came down fairly easy, I had it out last Dec for the diff drop install and the Feb before that for the locker install. I have pounded, tried to pry. I just broke 2 2000lb straps tied off to the F250. I tried to use the RS as an anchor, with the VX in 4low reverse, I was starting to drag the RS across the pavement. The F250 as an anchor just compressed the front suspension until the straps gave out. I am going to try and soak it with PB blaster and try again tomorrow, if that doesn't work, its time to get out the 10K chain. That damn thing will come out!!!!
