The quickest way that normally works for me is to take a heel bar (looks like a pry bar with the end at 90 degrees) and use it at the top of the carrier between the housing and one of the carrier bolts. I then use a pry bar at the bottom of the ring gear and work the carrier out.
I wouldn't do the come along. If it's jammed in there you could make things worse.
is it a 14 bolt? did you loosen the backlash setter thingamabobs? if its a dana your just being too bigga poon.
theres a thread on pirate where someone hooked a tow strap up to the carrier and yanked it out with his truck.

I would use a 4 wheelerQuote:

I have always used a prybar/deadblow/piece of square tube to get them out. However we used ratchet straps to get cj's 44 carrier out, first attached to the garage table-that almost tore down the garage. Then we hooked it to coops jeep and held the brakes, that finallly got it out. Also on chris's dana 44 front i used a carrier spreader it made it easier to get out.
use the comealong... i have done it several times and it works gud
Be sure to cushion the fall when they come out... Maybe with some pillows, but be sure to use the ones your other half uses so your head doesn't smell like gear oil the next morning.
i used cardboard boxes and styrofoam to stop the fall
new goodies

ordered monday afternoon, had them friday morning
Okay, I moved my steering box forward about 2 inches, and rotated it up about an inch, so that everything just barely clears the frame. I then installed a new PS reservoir, and drilled out the pump for better flow.
I also cut the hell out of my floor so that I could do the 2 inch drivetrain lift without a body lift. Its not quite a flat belly, but its tucked up in there pretty good. I'm going to have to work on the seat mounts as the floor is pretty flimsy now.
No pics at the moment as I'm only on dial up right now. More to hopefully come in a few days
I have the bender and will be down by wednesday evening w/ it and Fricks boomer.
sounds great. Give me a call at 979-204-1298 when you get here. Do I owe you anything for this?
then I cut out the rear crossmember and the abortion of a upper shock mount I built earlier, then built a new rear bumper and moved the stock 4runner gas tank to between the rear framerails

Before I bought the 4runner, I had spent about 2 months looking for a new rig to build. I was looking at 4runners, trucks, and landcruisers, and nearly bought a FJ-80. Then Grayson put this thing up for sale. I have always wanted a 4runner, and it was one of the few toy vehicles I haven't owned (I had one but it was a rolled parts truck). I could have left all the sheetmetal in the back, but I knew it would all be destroyed inn the long run. Remember I'm moving from a little buggy with nothing to damage back to a much larger rig with lots of sheetmetal. Its going to take some getting used to, and body damage will occur. I decided that while cutting it the way I did was a little drastic, I think that doing it now and trying to do it cleanly would be better than bashing it all up, then trying to do something about it at a later time.
as for the truck versus 4runner thing, I am considering putting the rear seat back in. I can't decide if its worth it or not, but it still fits fine
so, what is everyones opinion. Do I keep the rear seats or not? I can mod the cage to keep the seat, but foot room will be kinda tight
keep em
I'd keep the seat. You'll need a place for your cats to ride along on the trail! :flipoff2:
very funny, but the girlfriend's cats can stay at homeQuote:
