Hi fellas, got all the parts to do the brakes on my backhoe. Questions for those who have done this before:
1. What is the best way to drop the rear axle? I guess a better question would be best way to reinstall? I am thinking of using a floor or transmission jack to lower support it while I take the mounting bolts out and then drop it down.
2. Can this job be done with the axle housing still under the backhoe utlizing the mounting bolts for the axle opposite of the one you are working on and a block on the diff? I suppose the difficulty is removing the outer axle housing as it is quite heavy and there is no way to support it from above.
Anyways, would appreciate any insight anyone can potentially offer on this task.
Thanks
