[Fot] sliding spline rear axles

[toodamnfunky at comcast.net]

I'm making the CV/hub conversion in the next couple weeks. Although I haven't
experienced

spline lock, ( that I know of anyway )B I have been on the stock hubs for far
too long so

I'm just going to do both at the same time. It's a small amount to pay
considering the potential

damage a broken hub can do.

Patton machine makes the jig. I don't remember how much it cost but it is well
worth it. Go ahead and heli-coil all of the stud holes not just the bad ones.
BTW the splines don't slide when torque is applied. Just so you know, that's
another reason why Richard Goods Cv system is good. I just wish I could afford
them.
