1980 CJ5 Running gear troubles.
I have a 1980 CJ5, 4 speed, Dana 30 in the front, AMC 20 in the rear. I
think the Jeep had a 6 cylinder in it to begin with but now has a 304.
This is the problem... When you pour the coal to the Jeep it makes a
treibble sound coming from the back end of the Jeep. Sounds like a
chain drive slipping over the teeth on a sprocket. It will slip some
and then grabs and away you go. It does it in any gear and when you
slip it from Reverse to forward without coming to a complete stop. So,
I took the inspection cover off the rearend (because that is where the
sound was coming from. I thought?) One of the shafts on the spider
gears was worn but things looked good otherwise. I took the transfer
case out and it looks really good also. So I tried to take the rearend
completely apart. I assume this Jeep has the two piece tappered axles
and I can't get the wheel hub off the axle shaft to get at the keepers.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong as to getting the axles out or ideas
about the terrible sound when you get on it?? Thanks,

Re: 1980 CJ5 Running gear troubles.
Why do you want to take the axle and hub apart? Once you do it's
usually history. You may take the axle out like it's a one piece and
remove the four bolts holding the backing plate and retainer on. And
replace the outer seal and press on a new bearing. The hub takes an
American made puller: http://www.----------.com/puller.jpg that takes
the impact of a BMFH.

Bill:
I don't understand the four bolts and backing plate? Are you refering
to the four bolts that hold the brake housing and all that together? I
took off those four bolts on one side but still can't get the axle out
of the tube. Where are the keepers that hold this all together?
Thanks for the jpg. I already ruinned one puller. Maybe to much of
the BMFH

If you do not have the slide hammer type axle puller:
http://www.etoolcart.com/ProductImag.../OTC7374-L.gif use a chain
bolted to one of the lugs and throw chain out away from the axle and it
will follow.
