Thread: Bad Oil Leak

Thanks

No, just pull the short side axle out a few inches till it drops out of the centre NOT the locking dog, once your about to put the centre back in make sure the locking dog is still retained by the fork properly and away you go

Funny you ask this as i just did the exact same job today

Check with Mal at Maxidrive, but I just did swivel housings on mine and locked the diff first, then pulled out the axles. If in doubt ring Mal.
