I’m prepping my 80! RCV30/30, 300m! Finding a new “weak link”.

 

[peesalot]

Doug, do you have to remove the tone rings and press them on the RCV's or is there one under the wrap ?

It's gonna be the (rear) RCV drive flanges!

Knock them off with a brass drift and reinstall on the new birf. (Unless you no longer use tone ring.)

At the moment I’m just replacing the fronts. I really should install axles (with the factory locker section of splines machined off).

I have flanges as spares (assuming it doesn’t take out the splines on the birf stub shaft) and the old axle/birfs as spares. I’m still running 315s and made it about 300,000 miles on the originals before breaking a birf.

Yup. I carry an old drive flange and a complete hub.

I've been fortunate to never break a birf on this one so far. But Longfields went in the week I bought it, and now RCVs. 37s for a while and going to 40s soon I don't expect to have a problem. Gotta keep my fingers crossed though!

 

[Devil's Slide Doug]

I had a hell of a time installing the long front axle shaft into the dif on the trail. I just yanked the front dif and found this baffle/guide just hanging out in the bottom of the dif housing. I guess that explains it. Amazingly it’s not chewed up. It might have been stuck to the magnet.
