i'm trying to remove the nut to take off the flange to swap it with the new one.
i tried using an impact gun and a breaker bar and it wont budge, need advice on how to take it off.

Re: rear diff flange removal
Are you saying that the nut will not come off?

Re: rear diff flange removal
I have heard of people grenading the rear diff, but i think this is not what they were referring to

Re: rear diff flange removal
I made a tool out of a flat piece of steel to hold the rear diff flange.
It is about 1/4" thick, and 1, 1/2" wide, and about 4' long. It has one 1/4" hole drilled into it , offset, and a slight curved ground out area so that it clears a socket on the end of the pinion shaft. With the tool bolted onto the flange, I can use a breaker bar and socket to loosen the flange bolt. Leverage is your friend.

Re: rear diff flange removal
like svxfiles said, you probably need to attach something to the snout flange to prevent it from spinning while you use a breaker bar or impact to remove the nut.

Re: rear diff flange removal
You might want to borrow a 600ft/lb impact wrench.
For anything that my 250ft/lb guns won't break loose, I have to bust them loose by hand.

As far as swapping them it's like ten bolts, and two nuts.

Re: rear diff flange removal
Stick a heavy screwdriver through the flange hole and lock it against the diff body?

do i need to undo the camber bolts for the rear wheels to have enough space to pop out the axels from the diff?

Re: rear diff flange removal
"Pop" the axles before undoing all the bolts. As you lower the diff you can pull the axles out. It is easier without the exhaust pipe in the way.
