Drivers side axle u-joint is replaced. New bearing/hub assemblies aren't in the budget so they'll have to wait until spring. So I have the 30-whatever mm axle nut on the passenger side. It is STUCK. PB blaster, heat, pb, heat, 1/2" drive soc...

Will it work? There's one in the local pick-a-part, so if these are longer than the front XJ shafts or front ZJ shafts, then I'd like it (supposedly the ZJ shaft leaves only about an inch of extension with the dana 35) ... Thanks! ... -Matt...
