1997 4x4 blazer remove front axle?
I have an vibration in my 1997 4x4 blazer....
I have just a week ago replaced the rear wheel bearings....but still vibration..
The vibration I feel in my feet at the driver side...
Now for a check I want to remove the front axle and make a test drive,because I think he's making the noise/vibration(U joint's or something)
question 1: can I drive without that axle ?I mean is it worse to drive with my front differential disconected from the transmission?
question 2: how do you remove the axle? I have try it with the 4 bolts loose but there is't enough space to get him out....

Actually, you may have to just pull out the driveshaft from the front of the transfer case. It may take a little prying, but I forgot that the smaller trucks are splined into the front of the transfer case.
