anyone had a problem with pulling the stub shafts out of the rear diff? I got a 91 legacy turbo ss VLSD rear diff in my lifted rig. Heh, instead of snapping axles, it just pulls the damn stub shaft out. Any solutions to this?

 

or is it time to go back to 3.9 open rear diff with bolt in stub shafts? I have a 3.7 LSD unit I wonder if it will bolt up in the VLSD case a lil easier than the 3.7 to 3.9 EA conversion.

 

Time for more drop down brackets in the back. I'ma do 2 inch spacer at the mustache bar and see if that helps and then maybe the 3 inch rear xmember drop from SJR

can you put the legacy VLSD guts in the EA 3.9 rear?

the VLSD guts are what use the c-clips to hold the stubs in, so the problem stays with the guts.

 

my buddy loves his VLSD for the mud running he does, but he's got a full 3" lift everywhere, so nothing more that stock axle extension...

yeah I have 4 inches+ the accord front spring conversion in the back so I'm guessing 6 or 6 1/2 inches of stress on the rear axles. I think EA82 rear diff is going back in it. I'd rather shred axles then pull stub shafts out.
