Quick addendum for instructions: Flip the drum around, install lug nuts 2 or 3 turns, drum works as zero-buck slide hammer to pop axles loose. Rick

I have also pumped the gear oil out via the fill hole, but you will still have plenty left. Then get the jack ready, slide it forward then let it down SLOW, or it will roll off.

Also if its a virgin pig, and never been pulled, there may be copper crush washers on under the nuts, this makes removing the pig a bit more difficult. Join the Penguin Liberation Front!!

Then roll it out from under the truck and pick it up with my engine crane. That way I don't get much smelly stuff on me. When it comes time to go back in I have to use my trans jack. Jack the back of the truck up and under it goes. Took it out and put it back in by myself. Stay out of it's way and you won't get hurt.

It will make it a little lighter. I try to leave one nut loose near the top for safety, put a screwdriver somewhere around the sides and just let the fluid drain for a while. I've balanced it in a wide-pad floor jack during removal and installation, but you gotta be very careful trying to balance it and work the floor jack at the same time.

Anyhow, to add to the advice, leave the top nut in place, but unthreaded to the end of the stud, and pry up on the front of the pig until the seal breaks. This is an easy way to drain the housing without having to worry about the pig falling. The higher you get the back end of the car up the more fluid you'll get out of the housing.

I don't have any pics, but I made a small platform out of wood and mounted it to my floorjack for the "pig" to rest on when your ready to pull it out. Basically it was 3/4" plywood with chocks on the sides to keep the pig from rolling. Worked for me. 2004 Dodge Rumble Bee 5.7 Hemi 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner

Sometimes they are held in place by a roll pin and when you remove the axles they drop into the housing. Check now beofore you reinstall your axles and wonder why you have too much end play.
