Rear wheel stud replacement 98 Expedition

How did you finally get your axles pushed in to expose c clips? Was their a brake shoe part in the way?

Sorry I'm not real good with troubleshooting 4 wheel drive problems. Seems kinda strange that you pulled rear axles and now fronts locked up. Maybe one of the other readers can chime in how to fix that problem.

There's a great blurb on how to diagnose your 4 wheel drive on this forum. You might want to read it, if you haven't already. It's the simplest way to know if your problem is mechanical or electrical. Good luck, and as always post your results to help others.

Just stopped by to say thanks. I have done studs before but never had to remove the axle from the differential. Usually the hub had clearance. Any one have experience using shorter studs that might have the clearance instead of pulling the axle?

Cheers

Not sure about expy but usually/often there is a workaround or shortcut & figuring it out.

From this, looks like there is a way ..at least for drum brake setups.

Need to find something like this, but for your model expy


Some folks grind out a suitable area or cut out a section of backing plate for rear access to a stud
