Rear Axle Swap in a Sixth Generation Ford Bronco: How To Do It

This video is part of our series on re-gearing and axle-swapping our '21 Ford Bronco Base. This video covers the process, in-depth, of removing and and re-installing the M220 rear axle assembly. In our case we swapped in a used Badlands rear end that we had already re-geared and freshened up. But the process would be the same for those considering installing a brand new M220 complete axle assembly from Ford Performance or the Ultimate D44 from Dana.

This is our longest video to date as we wanted to capture the entire process for anyone considering doing this work themselves but might not be sure what it entails. Experienced mechanics might find it a bit basic and ponderous so it won't hurt our feelings if you choose to find something more brief to view for your Bronco entertainment. But for those considering this as a DIY project, it's all in there so grab a beer and follow along!

This is the second video in the series. Please check out our 5.13 Gear Swap video, the first installment in this series, if you haven't yet. The next video will cover the process of swapping our Bronco's stock M190 front drive unit for a re-geared and locked M210, so stay tuned for that one. After that we'll cover the process of buttoning everything up, hooking up the locker switches, and installing ProCal to delete the FAD.

If you're new to our channel, Steffie & Dusty bought Chanel as a 2-door Base model with no options except for the auxiliary switches. Over the past couple of years we've put it through its paces in stock form then started building it into a highly capable trail rig. Please check out our previous videos if you haven't seen them, and subscribe to stay tuned as we continue with the upgrades and off-road adventures!
