Zardilla Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Does anyone have expereicne removing these. Barring that does anyone have a factory fiche or manual that shows/describes how the spider gear is removed from the axle? I can't find a circlip like on R230 or S13 axles. It appears to have three sections on the outer edge of the axle end that are flattened somewhat (maybe this is how the gear is held on the end of the axle). Maybe it needs to be pressed off at a machine shop but I'm concerned that in doing so the splines or spider gears will be damaged. The purpose for pulling these off is to create a custom CV axle using 280zxt and S13 ends. Thanks for any help you can provide. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueovalz Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 You are correct in the splines being peened to flatten the splines to the point that the center race is locked on. When I replaced mine, I simply pressed the axle out of the race (which consequently straightened the splines). Re-installing the race required only slipping the race back on (it will be a little tight, but will slide on), and re-peening the end of the splines.
