FRONT Driveshaft REMOVAL

2005 LIBERTY

Rear seal is shot, want to take off front driveshaft and do the u-joint mod while i have it down.
i took all bolts out, i can only get shaft to travel back a few inches, but not enough to take it out of the front diff.
any idea how to do this?
thanks,tim

Yeah my rear seal is shot too. I'll definitely keep an eye on this thread.

well, i am also getting that clicking sound. i have pretty much ruled out everything else but the front hubs. this because of the "sound" location....YOU????? any sounds...

click sound comes and goes....

Is the clicking more of a ratcheting/ rattling sound? I get that sometimes when slowing down, but have not located the source.

yup....click click............click.....................click...
how long yours been doing it?
mine, just a week now...
noticed it while 2 tracking in northern Michigan. never used 4wd either...

sorry....ratcheting sound

A while back it started, at least a few months. I have not really looked into it much. I guess I should...:-k Hopefully some of the other folks on here will chime in and give their .02 cents worth.

Does the sound speed up with increase in throttle?

I had the front brake pads make a funny click noise. The sliders for the calipers fell out on one side and when I was stating off and coming to a stop, the pad would actually ride with the rotor and then fall back into place resulting in a slow clicking noise till I reached a speed where the pad would just stay in one position.

no, it just a slow tumbling clicking sound. only hear it though a slow to coming to a stop type speeds for far.

I took mine off by removeing the bolts on the t-case aswell then you can take it off from that end to gain the room to pull it off from the diff.
