jbc3 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) Looking for a set of R230 output shafts. Anyone familiar with a decent (cheap) source? Of course I wouldn't mind an entire differential if I can't find output shafts. Also, I pulled the rear off and tried to remove the good output shaft, in hopes to drive out the broken shaft and I got nowhere. Anyone have a trick to get these things out? Why am I asking??? Well, the first day at the track this year with a new set of slicks and a fresh VHT spray down and one of my output shafts was quite unhappy.

SATAN Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 The only way I was able to do it with the Q45 diff was to use a dead blow and just continuously pound on it until I could get a prybar in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbc3 Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 Actually, I ended up pulling the rear out and used a long pry bar and it actually the output shaft came out easy. (I was being lazy at first) I need to pretty much pull the rear 70% of the way to get the cover off since I have a hand made welded frame, so I just dropped it out. Fortunately it is actually fairly easy. It's a good thing also, since there was quite a bit of metal chips in the rear and I cleaned it out completely. I bought a complete R230 and it should have it in a couple of days.

JustinOlson Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Is the output flange of the R230 beefier then the R200? I'm just questioning if I should spend the money on putting in the R230 I have, or just stick with the R200 and CV's. Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
