Does anyone know?
How are the front axle shafts retained? In order to pull the axle shafts out do you have to open up the diff and remove a retainer clip? Or is it retained by the castle nut on the hub assembly. Service manual says to remove axle shaft and thats it. Am I missing something?
TIA

Can someone explain to me what CAD is that is referenced in the write up link above (first paragraph). I know this is on a Dana axle, but I was wondering if I have to do this with the AAM axle. Once I have the hub off I can just pull the axles out right? Is there a need to lock it in 4x4 before I start?

CAD is Central Axle Disconnect. The AAM axles don't have it. Once the hub is off, you can just pull the axle out. No need to lock it in 4x4.
