Hey guys I am all but done with getting my front axle out but I have to remove the axle and the brackets to get it out. They are nuts and bolts and on way to tight for me to do by hand. I have the air tools I just don't have a compressor to use them, if anybody has a portable one that I could borrow that would be great, I don't want to have to rent one if I don't have to.

The bolts in question are the ones that go into the vertical holes on the red brackets, no room to get in there up in the truck. I thought I could get the shafts out and just pull the housing but I guess they are held inside by snap rings so I have to pull the entire assembly as soon in the pic and dissemble it out of the truck.

I'm in Longmont. Still a haul from Fort Collins but you could borrow mine if you can't find anything closer.

No room, It will be bad enough trying to get the wrench on the head of the bolt on top, I was using my breaker bar yesterday and I am pretty sure the whole thing turned vs loosening the nut so I need to hold the bolt. At the moment I got a buddy coming our on Tuesday to help but having a compressor would be nice.

Wish I could help now but I can't. Later in the week can work, if you're still sitt'n on it.
