So you received your axles, installed them and turned on the radio.
You are ready for it's maiden voyage. You crack the throttle. The tires are spinning but the truck is in one place...
What could be the problem???
It's simple, one of the axles is reversed. Now, before you start to panic. It's an easy fix that takes less than 10 mins.
The most important thing to remember is the orientation of the axle and the parts. You don't want to go through this, reassemble it and find out that you put it back the same way.
My suggestion is to set up the work area with left and right. That way as you disassemble something, put it where is "Needs to Go", if necessary.
The first thing you need to do is remove the Brake Disc. This is done by removing the long grub screw. It runs through the shaft so you will back it out all the way. This will stay on that original side.

Next is to remove the e-clips on both sides of the output shaft. Be careful not to lose them.

Remove the three small screws around the bearings (triangle orientation). Be careful with these. The are very small.

Remove that flange and it should expose the main bearings.
