Lunchbox/pumpkin Rear Axle Removal

[markbt73]

I don't know if anyone has already done this, but I thought I'd share it. While doing the 3rd shock mod, I was looking for a way to remove and install the rear axle without having to take out eleventy thousand screws.

What I did was trim out a tiny bit of part D11, as shown in the photo, so I can get to the screws that attach D8 to the chassis. By removing those two screws, the two screws that attach D8 to D11, and disconnecting the shocks, you can wiggle D8 out enough to pop out the axle. I also beveled the leading edge of part D8 a tiny bit to make it easier to remove and install.

Sorry for the blurry picture; my camera is junk. I'll do a diagram of where to trim later if anyone wants/needs it.
