Thread: Half shaft splines

To get new splines machines you'd have to build up with weld first. An expensive solution.

Not too expensive from the UK.
Stub Axle Shaft - Paddock Spares

Just need to add a new universal joint and the seal collar Stub Axle Collar - Paddock Spares

I could probably find secondhand ones for you but they will also need universal joints, seal collars and halfshaft bearings. Splines are OK but rust has got the better of any bearing or seal surfaces.

I actually 'temp repaired' a flogged out 10 spline on a series 2 using Devcon ( JB weld ). I did thousands of miles on it and sold it on , telling the new owner about the bodge repair . He was a fellow club member had it for years of trouble free 4WDing.

something like this

I have milling machine & ability to make a new spline , but don't have metallurgy skills to anneal the axle spline & re heat treat it after repair . As a field repair I would use JB again no problems. ( I don't think it would work for 24spline though)

Thanks guys - I had only seen the complete shaft for sale at +£300.
The Paddock solution seems where I am headed. While I have the whole thing apart I really don’t want to do anything I will have to revisit.

For some reason Paddocks don't list the inner part of the shaft unless the part number changed (I'm using a Series II parts manual).

In my earlier post I listed the seal collar, I was having a blonde moment because this is on the stub axle......

Unusual for them to flog out in my experience - I wonder if it was running grease in the swivel?

I got some s3 fronts here maybe some s2a as well. S3 are 24 spline outers tho i think. Id have to unearth them to look

Only long wheelbase, I think, except for late ones.

Hi Gromit
I have ordered from Paddock a couple of times and didn’t realise they had a whole catalogue not listed under the headings on their website. Didn’t really think that one through did I!
Thanks.
