Yes I’m replacing the M190 with a locking FP M210. Which is why I needed the axles. It’s not worth upgrading the M190

@popo_patty any longer term updates on the FP axles? My passenger OE M210 axle is possibly needing replaced at 69k miles, so I was looking at just swapping both sides with this kit. I use my Bronco pretty roughly - running timed rally events in east coast woods & mud.... Don't really have the budget for a Spicer upgrade or anything right now. Will these be a good solution for the next 5 years?
Not a bad price. For your trail repair kit, what socket sizes and tools would you recommend having to replace a CV on the trail? I was thinking of getting spicer extremes and then using the stock cvs as spares.
Or is it best to limp things along to you get to your destination?

I don't know the socket sizes off the top of my head, but you'd definitely need the size of socket for the axle nut & everying related to popping a tie rod end so you can get it out. Having a deadblow &/or a puller set wouldn't hurt either, maybe a couple small pry bars.
I'm probably going to keep both my stock CV's as emergency spares. My passenger has something going on with it, but it's not broken, so it could be used to get home.
I don't know if I'll bother taking them with me on every run, but for example when I run a 1000 mile rally next summer, they'll be in the chase truck if needed.

I want to say the axle nut is a 35 (wifey is 98% sure that’s correct) or 36mm. The deadblow suggested in the reply might also be necessary, but not guaranteed. Taking the axles out of the 2024 with 281 miles (but a year old) required the use of the hammer. But the same M210 axles being removed from the 2022 for the first time at 20,000 miles did not. It also seems that the M190 axles are extremely difficult to remove compared to the M210 based on reports on this forum.
As far as limping along, it would depend on the break, but you’re most likely going to be best served by removing the broken axle to prevent damaging other components. Might need to shove a rag and tape it in on the driver side.
Sounds good. I will have to try my trail tool sockets out and see if I got the right size. Looks like I might need to carry jack stands too. Ugg, probably only be for serious trails I bring all that crap.
Just remember that fatigue is accumulative. Many instances where people break a thing and exclaim “I wasn’t even doing anything hard!” Sir you actually broke that when locked in and popped a wheeling while ascending and slammed the tires down while they were spinning 20 mph faster than the vehicle was moving. It just came apart now.
You can bend a paper clip and be fine, but there is a limit to how many times it can bend before it breaks
