oh..........snap

 

Both axle shaft caps popped off when I pulled them. The grease was like chocolaty. But the slange spun when the axle did.

aww





did you at least get a good run or two?

 

<p>14.002@104.7mph</p>

 

congrats
post up the slip(s) when you get a chance. looks really close to my pump gas times

BTW: you have just COMPLETELY validated my fears about wheel hop and why I didn't push my car any more on my last 2 track days. It is violent. It breaks stuff. Really really bad stuff

 

<p>MPH wise I should be low 13s. I just couldn't figure out the launch.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p></p>

 

<p>Thoughts on this:</p><p></p><p>Endcaps of axles and bearings that came out.</p>

 

Mine popped off as well when I removed my axles. Just bought some good quality Moly grease, removed the old, smeared new grease in, tapped end plates back on.

I hear it is unwise to put grease in like this though, apparently you want a "right" amount. I couldn't find the answer to that so I just said **** it and reinstalled. No problems after 10k so...

Also depress the collar, clean the bearing, and slip it back in no harm no foul.

 

<p>Well I ended up winning a 6 speed 3.9 car so maybe I'll use those axles too. This grease was pure chocolate.</p>

 

Well if that is the case, it may be smart to. My grease had no discoloration to it.

I wonder if those end caps were never tapped back on properly and a bunch of water got in them to make it look chocolatish.

 

<p>Not sure, they were junkyard axles. They probably sat outside for a year</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

 

 

Mmmm, listen to those wheels hop.

 

End caps pop off all the time when you get aggressive with removal. Not a big deal. The inner CV joints can be dismantled, cleaned and regreased easily. It's the outer CV joints that can't be serviced.

 

I was just about to say: DAT HOP DOE

 

Good to hear. I'll clean these up and probably keep them as spares. Do you know if they are the same side to side?
<br />
<br />Also, are 1 piece axles interchangeable with the 2 piece.

 

Actually, some here have dismantled the outers too, but it takes some doing.
