I have all the parts from a axle disconnect. I do not have any idea if the vacuum diaphragm works tho...is there a way to test them? I have not messed with them much.

why do you not just convert it to one piece shafts?

It would be easier to repair the disco than pulling the gear to install the proper passengers side axle seal. The truck doesn't see any wheeling. Just emergency traction duties. So a swap to a one peice is a last resort.

I will dig the one I have out tonight and take a pic and see if I can figure out if its good or not.
I also have a two piece shaft as well.

just shim the mode fork over with some washers and call it good forever.
easy if you have a mityvac. Apply vacuum and see if the fork moves, then listen for hissing.

This is plan b. Problem is the front pumpkin is noisey when engaged, I'd rather just engage when needed than listen to it all the time.
