does anyone know what size bolts are for the rear end mine all broke and now i need to tap them so i need to know all the tread sizes and has anyone swapped a rear end how hard is it thanks matt
-
this might be a stupid question and i dont kno how it would work but do they sell a diff fluid that locks both wheels on a slick suface better than normal i thought i heard somthing about this
-
Hey 8v, what exactly broke, what bolts are you referring to?
-
no such fluid
-

sry if i was sounding impatiant i was answering the guy aboves question i should have quoted it
-
Which four bolts? The ones holding the V-bar to the diff? I also have some snake oil to lock your wheels better jk :)
-
The "special Oil" you are refering to is for certian kind lockers/limited slip diff that have clutch plates to make them work.
If you use the wrong oil you can destroy the material on the plates so that the locker wont work.

yea those 4

And actually what that does is it makes the oil "slicker" so the clutch plates don't "chatter".

i think i confused viscosis sp? locker witch uses a chamber of special fluid and works as a lsd
-
They make a special fluid for Limited slip diffs the increase the friction of the clutches, but it is only for LSD's or a posi. It wont do anything for an open differential.
-
If I remember correctly those bolts are like M10x1.25 or M10x1.00.

I think you are referring to the "limited slip additive" that I was referencing earlier......it is not to increase friction in the clutch plates (I thought the same thing for awhile), it is to make it so they don't chatter.

I would just call Hawk Suzuki Parts and tell them the bolts you need. They usually will ship it out that day. They have shipped more then a few bolts to me based on "that one bolt" being the description. :)

And he is really patient, especially when these kinds of parts calls rarely run over 15$. I know from experience.

I don't think you guys read the post correctly. On the first one he states he needs to tap the holes! I don't think Hawks bolt will help him do that!LOL!
-
As for the proper thread size I'm not sure. Swapping the rear end is pretty straight forward and not very difficult. The real pain is the trailing arm bushings get seized to the bolts. Also make sure your new rear end gear ratio matches the front. All in all it would be easier to tap the four holes than change the rear.
-
The bolts are shouldered so you should be able to measure the shoulder on one of the broken bolts. They will be either M8 x 1.25 or maybe M10 x 1.5, I would just buy the bolts from Hawk and then measure them.
-
thats prolly what i will do probably just order that and find out the tread size and tap them and the reason i am swaping rear ends is that i have one that i welded

Yep, missed that he needed to re-do the threads. I thought he just sheared the bolts off. :P

Ya i got to thinking about that a day or so after i posted it and i knew it was wrong and forgot to fix it thanks for the correction.
