are all axle sizes the same?

sixsixnet · Jun 18, 2010

hi guys. i have a frozen lug nut on my 8 3/4 rear end and i happen to have a cbody 8 1/4 rear end sitting at my house. can i just use the other axles from my c body rear end in my b body? i was told that the only thing that changed was the structure and size of the rear end, not the axle size. any advice is appreciated. thanks.

B and C body rears are not the same width. So even if you were dealing with two 8.75's instead of one 8.75 and one 8.25 they would not swap

ok. thanks. i just went ahead and bought the studs i needed. how hard are they to change out?

any lug nut studs ive delt with are just pressed in you can usually knock them loose with a big hammer

make sure you put a lug nut on the end of the stud b4 you beat it out with a hammer so you don't damage the threads.

true but if your replacing the stud who cares about its threads

are all axle sizes the same?
