Nope, it's a tight fit though. Helps to have the knuckles pointed straight ahead.
Dismantling the front is very straightforward and simple.

is it me or is he getting in over his head ?

anywaysss. Pass side lockout would NOT come out. Got a sheetmetal hammer thing. Like a wieght on a rod basically, and hammered it out. Turns out there was a tiny nick in the hub.
after that it was easy.
Old ****s out and now I just have to wait for car quest to open so I can get my crush sleeve, they ordered it overnight for me since summit didn't send one. But yea. Not as bad as I thought so far, and then my dad is going to teach me how to set them up and then everything goes back together.
I'm calling it quits for tonight.. I got up at 3:30his morning, gotta love the morning crew.
Thanks for all the uh... Confidence? Haha.
And for the help getting the axles out. I almost started pulling knuckles but I figured you guys have done this 14 billion times so it was worth asking.

and I was totally clueless about pulling the front end apart. Kind of embarrasing.. But it's apart now so no biggie.

I just replaced the muffler bearings so i'll leave the exhaust on. =)
FYI, you can get solid shims for a 10 bolt pinion. I prefer these to a crush sleeve...Just my opinion...carry on...linky

you need to crush the sleeve with a breaker bar and somthing holding the yoke still. using an impact gun can and will harm the pinion bearings. they dont like getting beat like that.
on bigger axles with larger pinion bearings you can get away with it. but not on a 10 bolt or smaller.
