Hello Everyone,
With both wheels are on the ground and the ujoint in front of the torque tube is disconnected, I can turn the drive shaft (with a large screwdrive in the u-joint yoke) and the wheels will not move but the large pinion ring turns.
I am wondering if my spider gears and shaft are worn and need to be replaced or worst the carrier assembly ??
Thanks,
Jay L.
If I read you right, you turn the drive shaft with both wheels on the ground and you expect the wheels to turn. With that scenario, nothing should move. If the 'large pinion gear' (I think you mean ring gear) moves, then you likely have a broken axle. Need some more clarification of your recent post.
