Hey guys,
Got an 09 Outlander Max that i'm replacing the rear axles, got tho old ones out no problems, but the new ones won't go anywhere near going back in.
I've googled the hell out of it and some people say they should just go back in.
I've even tried to take a trailing arm off to make it easier, can't even get the silver key out to get to the snap ring and nut. I have the tool to undo the nut.
There seems to be red loctite on the splines, which i've heated with a heat gun to 400c and they still won't budge, either side..
Looking at moving the rear diff back a bit now to give it a shot.
Bloody engineers have a lot to answer for, design things with virtually no idea about working on them later.
