What did you use to get the caps for the diff's and t-case out? When I tried they were stuck good.

Why whats so great about them ?

Why whats so great about them ?
The inner splines are bigger (you'll need to run REAR side gears in front to make them work), cromoly, bigger birf's. Just an all round stronger, better designed axel.
A good option for guys that would like to stick with there stock axels, but still have some beef to run a larger tire.

after removing all the mud from the inside of the plug, i just hammered a small extension the proper size into the hole and used a long rachet. always worked for me.

what did they break? i'm not understanding.
Stu
-
Yes it broke just back from the spline on the long side. Managed to take out the side gear of the arb too :'(.

see, here's the thing...I AIN'T SKEERED!!! ;D
I'm SUPPOSED to be stress testing these things for I-Zook...it's my job...lol

I'll be interested to see what you think of them then. What are the spec's of the rig your running them on ?
Our's is 89 sammy 1600 8v, 4.16 Tcase, 4.3 R&P, 32' Swampers and F+R ARB's - not opperating it on high traction sufaces eithier mainly mud and dirt.
-
1.3 stock, 4.10 T-case, Rock Block, 5.12's, Locked F/R, 33x13.5x15 Swamper LTB's, loose nut behind the wheel. (probably why they picked me to test them...lol)
-
OOHH brother, with that rock block and 4:1 you gonna test them really good. Make sure you wedge it really good in the rocks and back up extremely vertical stuff. Upgrade your hub bolts now and use loc-tite, and let the good times roll. Lets see, you have about 140:1 crawl ratio right? You got them in yet?
-
so this is what your talking about

Rough job Huh ;D 8) Yea, I know, It's tough but somebody has to do it ;) Let us know how your stress test goes.

stu
Yes thats the one alright.

Rough job Huh ;D 8) Yea, I know, It's tough but somebody has to do it ;) Let us know how your stress test goes.
Zig
I know you feel my pain...lol. And it is a dirty job, but I'll do my best to bring you all the honest truth about things I test. If it fails, you all are gonna know it, and know exactly what I was doing when it broke.
I do have them in, and I'm going to be wheeling them this weekend on one of our local trails. As a matter of fact, we're cutting two new trails that are old creek beds and are nothing but rocks and bolders. One creek is a run called "The Devils Kitchen" (Hells kitchen has already been used...lol) and it's where they used to run tirals bikes all the time. There has yet to be a 4-wheel rig make it all the way up (something about a 10 foot waterfall at the end). ;D
-
Back it up the waterfall for a severe test on them.

Hey how bout after the weekend you pull the long side and check if it's started to twist instead of just testing too destruction (I know thats the fun bit ;D) but then we'll know weather it's like ours and slowly starts screwing the spline first then grenades.

I'm not 100% sure on this one and I guess mufkr knows much about materials. But I learnt in school (Engineering) that breaks like that one often aren't because of the metal getting tired but just because too much force is put on it. If such an axle breaks because of bending and twisting there is a smooth surface with some smooth "Force" lines on them, but here the breakage is rough---impact break.... At least that's what they taught me, coud be mis interpretation of the picture...

I can probably to that...we'll be running Saturday, probably Saturday night, and all day on Sunday. Should be a nice run for testing, lot of varied terrain (rocks, mud, hills, washouts, ect)
