martimus919 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Ya i pulled the front axles from the XT6 i took my 5 lug stuff from and they go right on to the trans I still have the brat in the air in my garage and haven't had a chance to see if i need to cut down the axles though (I'm afraid I will have to). How do I get that kit? Just e-mail him? and how much does it usually run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaruguru Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 i think the xt67 axles are the same but they will not swap into your ea81 they are to long the ea81 axles are shorter. with the turbo tranny you will need custome axles. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jibs Posted April 10, 2010 Author Share Posted April 10, 2010 I know they're longer I just need to know if EA82T axles have the same outer spline count as an xt6 axle. I found some info on the xt6 axles at empi.com, but they only list one axle for all the ea82's - 23 spline inner and 30 spline outer (or backwards I dont remember) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyeights Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 XT6 stubs are 25 spline, the same as EA82T stubs. Anything EA82 with SPFI uses 23 spline stubs same as EA81. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inside yes they are the same. The xt6 outers are listed as being 27 spline on empi.com. Same for ea82's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 no, outer splines are completely different XT6 vs EA82. the XT6s are almost identical to EJ stuff there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbchux Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I'm not sure. I've never had an outer joint apart. but from the joint, out, they're very different. I'm not 100% sure what you're doing, so let me clarify. you've got XT6 hubs and knuckles, and an RX trans. And you have a set of EA82t axles that you'd like to use. And either way, the axle has to be shortened to work with the EA81 track width. If I'm understanding that correctly, I would say getting XT6 axles and having them shortened would be worth the extra effort. you'll need the XT6 outer joint/stub anyway, and the XT6 inners are already 25 spline.

The Beast I Drive Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I believe what he is trying to do is use EA81 axle shafts with EA82T inner DOJ's, and EJ or XT6 Outer CV's. -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jibs Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 I'm sorry in causing extra confusion here. Numbchux is correct in that I have xt6 knuckles and an rx trans. I have a set of ea82T axles already pulled. I have a set of xt6 axles in the parts car xt6 I have, but it'd be a little more work in removing them when the ea axles are already out. I might as well just remove the xt6 axles and have them worked on. Thanks for all the help. I really appreciate the responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jibs Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 So I've got my xt6 axles out and ready to ship out to have them modded to fit the brat, but my next question is on rebuilding them. I wasn't very nice when I removed the boots and cups and such and ended up using a BFH to get them off. Is it possible to order new axle parts online or do I have to go to pick and pull and buy new parts and do a rebuild? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I can get you the axles for that I did the same RX trans in my wagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
