I used a rachet strap hooked on each frame rail and
hooked under the pinion flange to keep the front end
up. The rest was creative leverage. I have to do the
front on a different truck and although I know know
that it isn't too complicated, I am loking for better
points of leverage so I don't have to carry the stupid
things again.
Do CCKW's used those stupid tapered cone washers in
the axle flanges? I hate 'em.
