Geezuz. How did that happen?

Definatly NOT a common problem at all. Especially in the rear. If anything would go i would of thought it to be the front...... Even then its pretty hard to do that.

Wat were u doing? trying to pull burnouts with a brand new clutch on 38's on a dry bitumen road?

Ive got a spare or 3 if u need one ;)

I read that and thought the same thing, and then thought, I think he bought a lockright from a dude with a H260.

How many splines (little grooves) on the broken piece of axle?!! 31 or 33 or 37?

a rear or front.... its hard to tell in the video. is it a 37spl rear? you weren't even on it, there was nothing bound up... maybe fatigue got it, or poor design??

(the video isn't real clear, so i may be way off base)

Wait, am I reading this right? There were 31-spline H260s? That's a pretty small shaft for what is otherwise a heavy-duty axle isn't it?
And am I just totally off my rocker, or does what I'm reading imply that H233B and H260 centers are interchangeable into the H260 housing if indeed they have a common spline count? I would prefer to think you swapped an entire H233B in place of the H260 for now, much easier to get my head around...

beefie, how does 27mm more ring gear fit into the h233b housing?
or are you referring to the h233 housing that is found in MQs and not the h233b? is there even a difference in these two axles? the h233 and h233b?
i started another post about questions on diff gearing and was given the link to this thread. i was planning on making a custom housing using 33-spline h233b diffs but if i can fit a h260 diff in a h233b housing i'll gladly take the 37-splines :D

Apparently the MQ H260 was only a 31-spline unit.

yeah that's what it seemed like brent.
but the question would be if you could fit the 37-spline into a h233 housing...
