ismellrealbad Posted May 5, 2007 Report Posted May 5, 2007 ughhh. of course. one on ebay was the wrong side and no abs. again dont understand y this is so hard. guess ill have to switch the inners Quote
Miko K Posted May 7, 2007 Author Report Posted May 7, 2007 Well, I guess the cheapest and easiest way for a decent 282 swap would be the reman axles from NAPA and switch the outer cups for ABS users. This for other people doing the swap in the future. Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 has anyone given this a go yet? I'm finding it quite impossible to take the outer cups off my auto axles.. seems like there's a snap ring holding the shaft in, but I can't figure out how to get to it. It might be easier just to dremel the rings off and weld them onto the manual axles at this point... Quote
Miko K Posted May 17, 2007 Author Report Posted May 17, 2007 Yep, I got the clips out, you need a nice c-clip(or whtever it is called) removal pliers and they come out easy. Quote
ismellrealbad Posted May 17, 2007 Report Posted May 17, 2007 dikes get those things right off. are the drvie and passenger side the same length? would i be able to just grab an auto axle and pop on the manual inner? Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted May 17, 2007 Report Posted May 17, 2007 Yep, I got the clips out, you need a nice c-clip(or whtever it is called) removal pliers and they come out easy. yea, but how do you get to it? Quote
Miko K Posted May 18, 2007 Author Report Posted May 18, 2007 No, they are different lengths. Yep, I got the clips out, you need a nice c-clip(or whtever it is called) removal pliers and they come out easy. yea, but how do you get to it? The piece that locks into the splines on the shaft itself has a slot (which is on the bottom side of the shaft, I can see it on your pic) and align the c-clip with it and spread it apart and it comes out.

GutlessSupreme Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 has anyone successfully found a passenger side 282 axle? period? even non-abs? are anybodies part numbers correct? i can't fucking put my car on the ground and it's getting aggravating. Quote
BXX Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 Go to a parts store and get one... I fail to see what is so difficult... One of my posts in this thread showed the AutoZone part numbers for the halfshafts Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 I fail to see what is so difficult... what's so difficult is that they're all the wrong fucking axle. every number napa has is for an auto axle. someone said their autozone axle was too short. i'm asking if anyone has a part number where they have gone to the store, received the axle, put it in there car and it fit properly.

White93z34 Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 not too sure if i can be much help, however a friend of mine had a 88' Cs 2.8/282 a few years back, and i had this same problem with the pass side axle, we ended up finding one at a yard with torn boots, and as i recall i had to take one end off of it and replaced the boot that way and then put the other boot on at that time too ( don't know how much sense that makes to you, but in the end it got me a decent axle that outlived the car.

Yes, the first part numbers I gave you w/o abs are the same ones put in my 89 Grand Prix I had recently... It was a 5-speed... Quote
TurboSedan Posted July 15, 2007 Report Posted July 15, 2007 i had no trouble finding both axles at Advance Auto. Quote
