keg1 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Is there a special tool to get the bolts on the inside of the rears or do you just bend a good wrench like I did to get them out?

theakerstwo Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Just heat and bend a box end wrench. 1 Quote glenn akers Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45604-rear-axle-bolts/#findComment-336211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Do you guys talk about the bolts to attach brake spiders to axle housings? Just would like to know the place I might need to bend something. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45604-rear-axle-bolts/#findComment-336220 Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Think they are talking the two bolts behind the side cover. terry Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45604-rear-axle-bolts/#findComment-336226 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to straighten the wrench 3 times but I did finally get it broke loose. Those were on my parts truck and I still have the ones on the r model to take out so I was just wondering what other people used. Guess I'll just get another wrench. 30 minutes ago, terry said: Think they are talking the two bolts behind the side cover. terry Yes that's the ones.

Vladislav Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Hmm.. So far I have only one carrier removed off the axle although met nothing of an issue removing the bolts all over. The axle was off a truck though, laying on the ground.

Brian Blaylock Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 A swivel socket and extension should get them loose Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45604-rear-axle-bolts/#findComment-336381 Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) I use a crows foot and take them out first while the other bolts hold down the carrier. Seems to work better 99% of the time.
