Because one side is bolted to the block. I guess that makes it harder for some people.

It takes me all damn day to change an axle. I gotta get off the couch, then I gotta have a cigarette, then I gotta stand around for a bit, then I get distracted by something that doesn't need to be touched, then a friend comes over and we talk about nothing important for three hours, then I forget what I needed to do so we talk some more, then I remember I wanted to replace an axle, and then that takes like 40 minutes because someone has to talk shit and crack jokes the entire time.

Sounds like a great time.

Well yeah, I had to get EX spindles and a bunch of machine work, but I'm talking hub specific, not the whole conversion. Next time I'm just going to get 32mm 5 lug hubs machined for my wheel bearings and pop those in.

B series axles have a 3 bolt carrier on the left side therefore taking 3 bolts longer in time

Have u guys seen the karcepts 32mm 4 lug spindles? They bolt on no prob

:thumbup:

3 bolts for the intermediate shaft add more time.

Also would like to know if that's 12 minutes to pull and replace or just just pull.

why would you pull the intermediate shaft to replace an axle? :cool:

If you were just using hand tools, I figured it would be faster to just zip the other 3 bolts off than to wrestle with splitting the outer shaft from the intermediate shaft. If you were at home and using special tools then yes, I would just put my splitter in there and separate them...

never had a problem with my bfh getting that axle off but i do see what you are saying :cool:

I've had to remove the intermediate shaft all the time, they just don't want to come loose.
