Hahahaha I wish I could swing that! On a side note, I think my f250 is on its way out, it crossed my mind to send the axles to Bubba and have them modified for my Jeep [emoji23]

Thank you! We actually are getting another one next month we haven’t met her yet since she is in Idaho.

How hard should it be to pull the axle shaft? It wiggles, but it comes out an inch or so then stops...

Edit: not even an inch, more like half inch

Sometimes they get stuck. Thread the rotor back on a little and use it like a slide hammer.

Awesome tip! Thank you!

is it normal for these to come out with the axle shaft?

Yes. They're guides to help you avoid messing up the seals when you slide the shafts back in.

I'd probably stick a hanger or something in there carefully and pull them out.

Lol. Never done it, but I've seen several say to loosen the bolts holding it in and pull out the carrier a bit so you can pay attention the the shim stacks on either side... You'll need to put them back the same way they came out.

I took pictures of either side, I pulled the bolts and brackets holding it in place... but it’s just so tightly wedged in there it doesn’t want to come out lol

Pry bar carefully, or I think I saw someone use a ratchet strap to pop it loose.

I think I punched out something extra with the axle seals... the piece to the right of the seal cane out of the driver side

That's not the inside of the seal on the left?
