damn man that sucks, Make sure you get her running again before OC!!

 

damn man!!! i thought you at least broke it at the track trying to take the US 6 speed title.... hehehe

 

interesting, my axle was on the right side as well... i just switche dto the quaife lsd 3.3, what rear end are you running?

 

I snapped an axle (right side outer CV) when I ran my GReddy TT setup about a little over a year ago. Sux that it happened on the street I think 'berto is running the 3.3 FD, Nissan VLSD from AT.

 

Hey Bert,

Sorry about your axle.


I cant see your picks at work. Was it the driver or passenger side??

I have a passenger side axle at home, since i broke the driver side last year

Let me know

Todd

 

Its the passenger side that broke. If you have one, I'll take it off your hands. PM me a price Todd!!

 

Parts murderer continues

 

Well it looks like your in luck. Let me see if i can work up a special Mid Atlantic crew price for you

Todd

 

Not sure if its ok, I guess I'll find out when I put this axle in

Todd-just let me know man...

 

PM sent

 

Hope these pics help.

Let me know if it looks and snapped like the one pic

Later
Todd

 

Few more pics

 

Todd your the man. Mine seems to have snapped right before the inner CV joint or maybe even (I dont see this happeneing though) slid out of the CV joint-maybe the c-clip somehow came out.

Is a puller really necessary to "push" the DS out? Also does anybody know what size the axle nut is? I need to take tools up to where my car is as its not near my house. Thanks again Todd-for the info and the awesome deal on the axle...

 

The part number is listed above on the nutt. Call A nissan dealer and maybe they can tell you the exact size.


Hey anytime. I know you would do the same

Todd

 

I did not use a puller

 

Its a 32mm for anybody wondering. I'll likely be swapping tonight...I'll report back.

 

That's a big a$$ nut...

 

It's a REALLY easy job...just make sure you have an impact or a REALLY long breaker bar for the axle nut.

 

thats what she said

 

A 1 1/4" socket will work too. That's what I used since the auto parts didn't have any metric larger than 19mm . And yes, it takes quite a bit of torque to get that bolt loose!

My 4' long piece of rigid conduit aka breaker bar laughed in it's face
