Hey guys

I have 300m axles getting made right now. They will be ready to ship in 3-4 weeks.

These will be a direct swap for the OEM axles.
I dont see any reason to replace the inner or outer stubs since they are by no means small or weak, the weakest link is the axle shaft itself.
The G8 axle is pretty much the same diameter as the GTO axle but the cv joints and inner stubs are better.

I will also come out with a 300m bolt together inner stub and axle package a little later for you big power guys.

Installing the axle kit is a pretty easy job once you get the half shafts out.
The outer end:
Remove the cv clamp, slide the boot back out of the way.
There is a large retaining ring that keeps the cv joint together. Take the retaining ring out and it all just comes right out.
After you pull the cv apart, there is another retaining ring on the back side on the axle, remove it and the axle will slide right out.
The inner end:
Remove the cv clamp, slide the boot back and pull real hard on the axle and it will come right out. It is held in place by a wire retaining ring that just slides out with the axle.

Pop the retaining clip off the old axle and onto the new axle and put it back together just like it came apart except with the new boots, clamps and grease.

I will make up some good instructions and youtube video of how to do it. Not hard at all.

The kit will consist of:
Pair of 300m 37 spline axles
All new boots, clamps and cv grease

Price is $595. plus a little shipping
If you dont feel like doing this yourself, you can ship them to me and I'll do it for you. PM me for the details

If you want a set, please let me know so I can put you on the list to get a set.

The kit will be real similar to the GTO 300m axle kit that I currently offer.

Here are the bolt together 300m stubs that I currently offer for the GTO, the G8 stubs will be real similar, just larger diameter.

The axle kit can be purchased direct through me or one of my dealers.

this may sound stupid... but will this now make the stubs the weak point? If one was / is going to break is it better to have the shaft or the stub break? I want to run slicks so i want to make sure my driveterrain is stout.

Here is the G8 inner axle stub compared to the GTO inner axle stub.
The G8 stub is huge compared to the one in the GTO. The G8 stub is 1.4 diameter compared to 1.2 diameter for the GTO.
I dont think the inner stub is going to be a weak link but if it does I'll make 300m stubs.

If anyone is wondering, the OEM G8 axles are roughly the same diameter as the OEM GTO axles, just 2 inches longer and more splines.

The kit will look very similar to the GTO 300m axle kit that I currently offer.
