dislexicdime Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) So I put a r 200 in my 510 and I broke a u joint the other day and when the u joint popped the half shaft hit one of the mounting bolts and now I can't get the nut off. But I can't remember if the half shaft has a bolt to retain it like a r180 or a snap ring . I figure I will have a better chance of getting the stub shaft off if I can get the whole thing out of the car. Thanks in advance Mikey here is a pic of the carnage lol it could have been a lott worse Edited March 31, 2011 by dislexicdime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all of the R200 side shafts that bolt up to 510/240Z halfshafts are a center bolt design. Unbolt the halfshafts from the stub axle side, unbolt your control arms, and lower the R200 and the halfshafts out as a unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 You could just unbolt the other side, where the nuts are undamaged, and see what's there. Or, isn't the bolt head visible under the u-joint? The snap-in ones don't have a bolt head there. Or you could probably file or grind that damaged portion of the nut off. Some alternative thoughts.

dislexicdime Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 I guess I spent to much time trying to get it out. Because I never even thought about pulling off the other side and checking lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Pretty sure they're all snap in on the R200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
