1980 CJ7-258 I6, MC 2100 carb, team rush upgrade, T4, D300 tcase, D30 w/aussie locker in the front, AMC20 open, I think PO put 4.88s in the diffs, 35,000-135,000 miles, you pick. 4"susp lift, 2" shackle, 35" <-BAD WORD-> cepek AT's on black steel wheels, 1 1/4" spydertrak wheel spacers, most everything else i believe is stock, finding things out as I go
I have a one car garage, by one car, I mean one car maybe 18-24 inches on either side of the jeep. Will this be enough room to pull out my axles? Is this job pretty hard? I get nervous when I start messing with things like gearing and the enigine internals. Any hints and tips? I already have the press/puller from autozone. This is the last thing that I need to replace with the front suspension, the steering has steadily improved, I hope this is will bring it back to factory specs.
 
I assume you will be putting the front axle on jack stands so you should have just enough room with the wheels off to do what you need to but not much extra. I would suggest pulling it in all the way to one side and do one side with the most room at a time if possible. Give yourself a little extra time since you will not have much room for friends over to help. Let us know how it goes!
