Randeez 2012 Budget Yukon Denali Build (stick on hood scoops galore)

i meant no ring to remove with snap ring pliers. the other type ive seen videos off use a spring clip on the end. its not a press fit, its physically loose, like you can move it back and forth(very little but enough to see it move) like it is just a spring clip or something holding it.

I see. It’s weird in the video how he just gets it to pop out but doesn’t show how the tool compresses the retainer clip.

i dont think it gets compressed you just have to brute force it off, needs constant pulling tension
i ordered a better slide hammer...i can hold it with my vice but the shafts are so short between the boots it messes them up

You mean like when you’re taking a hard corner in a 3ton truck with a 1200hp engine?

Did you see the tool attached to the vise grips he used to compress the retainer when he assembled it?

This is how it looks all the way around...I ran a pick tool around it 5x and finally just brake cleaned all the way around, no ring on this end

You're trying to get the splined shaft outta that star-shaped part?

Could it have a ring on the inside, like how the inner joint of CV axles on cars have?

welcome to the conversation

yes, day 4 of splines kicking my ass. waiting for a few tools to show up. no one i know had a larger cv joint separator tool.

didnt mess with it at all today though. superlift finally sent me instructions for rear brackets, pretty slick, made sense after looking at it.

so i came home today and put those on to flatten the rear controls arms again. i measured the bars to be even. tried to also measure the wheel wells and make sure wheel was sitting centered but its kinda pita. so i'll just wait till its all together and do it. routed the parking brake lines. just need to put them back into the clamp thingy where they go back into one. i need to drill a few 1/2 holes and put in some hardware for a few brackets, i cooked half a dozen of them trying to drill out the rear sway bar so i ordered a few more.

shocks - soooo i kinda want it to ride nice. an adjustable shock would be sweet cause its bouncy AF with no shocks on it. but i think being so high without some stiffys highway cruising is going to be a mess. being able to adjust would be nice. i have a QA1 part no that will work with the shock extenders single adjustable is plenty theyre like 160bux each - same price as nice non adjustable (FOX) shocks that i can run without the extenders.

Hey! It was 8:30- waaay past my bedtime!

Rear end 99% done. Need to set trackbar and secure abs cables. Finally got instructions from superlift for suv kit. Was a few things I back to backtrack and undo to get it all together.


Front. No axles- slide hammer wasnt worth a shit. The larger puller should be here next week coming from the uk or soemthing

put the 6 spacers on the stock struts will do some coilovers later.

Pulled the big turbo and hotside off. Pulled the smaller radiator and fans. Mishimoto back in with stock fans, started putting trick kit back on.

Need to order some parts that I canabalized over the last couple builds. Need to put injectors and fuel rail and regulator back on and it should be ready to fire up. Need to add tranny fluid and transfercase fill up. I didn't notice the trans dipstick stuck when I pulled it and tore it up. Ordered a new one I need to put in

man,,, you guys are lucky they don't do anything like that around here, were lucky if we get a monster truck show inside a arena so they can't even really cut loose.
