Anybody got any good links to tech articles for the disassembly of a front dana 30. It is out of a 01 TJ if that makes a difference. A friend of mine is going to be putting in some gears and I don't have a clue how to take these things apart. I am a Toyota guy. So any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Take all the bolts off that keep the differential in the housing.

Well......Thanks but I was looking for something a bit more in depth. I know basics. I just don't know anything about Jeeps. What do I need to do to get the axles out? Any special tools? Any links to tech articles?

Pretty comprehensive info, although
1. Calipers are held on by 13mm bolts, not allens
2. No info on the carrier.
