why do you have to remove the studs? is it just 1, or are you putting in ARPs? if you put in the ARP studs i have you have to remove the axle, they are just too long. pulling the axles is super easy on these cars, takes like 10 minutes, plus you get to change out your diff fluid.

after pulling the axle the abs ring will still be attached to the axle right? If so how to i get the ring off of the axle? The ring is what is causing the problem!

take it off with a press.
