| stuck with bushing
I got my teflon seal bearings from R2J but I can't put them on the axle because every thing is JB welded together and I can't get them out. I bought unassembled crawler on RCU( vertical Smile) and the diffs were already locked. I put the bearings in the hub and on the pinion, I guess I am stuck with the bushings on the axles.

The shafts are glued to the differential? Wow, the person you bought that from went a little crazy...

The bushings are Jb welded to the axles? now the bushing will spin and wear down the plastic axles...not to mention more drag

Nothing a hammer and vice can't fix. I did the bearing swap last night on the Rick scaler. The shaft had Jb ozzing out. Couple taps with a hammer is enough to break the bond. Besides what have you got to lose. I mean they break your not out anymore then you are now. |

I think I saw on here somewhere that Gasoline can dissolve JB. So you could try tossing it into a a cup full of gas overnight and see what happens... Might soften things up enough for the hammer trick to work... yep here it is... Jb Weld Solution |

It might be less painful just to start over.

you could keep those inwards for back up axles. Just buy some axle casings and spare axle!
