And in New Zealand we call them half shafts too, calling them an axle is so american! Like calling a diff housing a pumpkin or a diff head a third member, where did the other members go?

or Ring and Pinion for Crown Wheel and Pinion. I will call it nothing but a CWP !

axle/half shaft is pretty much interchangeable here., although the term half shaft is usually applied more to independent diff/axle assemblies with exposed shafts.

and fancy a Kiwi counselling us on language !
at least we can count to ten without mentioning procreation half way through ....

and at the end of the day what was the point?

interesting it broke the shaft,,
would have bet money on the cage,,

3M swayaway's will do 360 deg and return,,

dont know how many Nm's that is but,,,

now that I've actually seen the vid and by who, Dave visits and posts in here sometimes, and was only here in the last week or so.

<edit> and It'd be much more interesting if it showed the force at breakage vs the force at breakage of their new CV's.,
