Hey all,

Can I please get some advice from someone who has pulled the front differential on a 99 Jimmy SLE? What tool set up did you use to get the mounting bolts loose?

I have my entire front end apart to replace some output bearings and seals but also have a bad motor mount I was going to take care of except the mounting bolts (and nuts, the bastards) are super difficult to get to with anything other than an 18mm open end...

any help is appreciated.

 

Not sure how different your truck is from my 95 Blazer, but I was able to get all the bolts loose with an impact and backup wrenches.

The lower diff mount will probably have to be cut and rewelded, from what I've read. I was installing a lift kit, that used a different mounting location, so I wasn't worried about it.
