Daughter's Expedition's Rear Diff Exploded **UPDATE It's Done See Post 226**

It is a start.

I know it is hind site but ya should have sprayed everything down with BP Blaster.

That's what I said when the bolts wouldn't come loose.But I made sure to spray 'em last nite before coming home.

There was some kind of blue thread lock stuff on the bolt threads on the ones we did manage to get off.Why not just use lock washers? or is that not the way it's done today?

At work, we use a stuff called Liquid Wrench, and it works great, it has never failed me!

I've used that too,just keep forgetting to pick some up.I used it long before I heard of PB Blaster

Sorry guys,been running around

Nope,no progress...been raining too much.I did go to the yard yeaterday though to check things out.As far as I can tell everything's the same as I left it friday.But getting there is a whole 'nuther story.In order to get to it I have to cross a river bed(usually dry) the Santa Clara River bed to be exact.Well when I drove up to it yeaterday the river had washed out the road(forgot to get a pic,maybe today).However,there is another way,but is gated.I called my friend who lives on the property to see if he would unlock the gate...no prob,just gotta get dressed.So here is a little vid.....

Yes,it sure does.I very happy with it


Made a little progress today...Since the rain quit for a couple of hours I headed over to the yard.This time I brought a pipe wrench,yes a pipe wrench
With a little effort and my 4'' electric hand grinder I finally got the two remaining suspension arms free WOOHOO!!! Now the only thing holding the damn axle on is the u-joint.I was about to start on that when the friggin rain started,so I called it quits for the day.The next time I go over there the axle will be OUT and that depends on the rain

Edit: forgot to add a pic or two

The last two bolts are loose,notice all the blue threadlock?
