Something on those stub axles doesn't look factory. The nubs to be more specific. I could be wrong...

The mittlemotor stubs I sold, seemed to have a thicker flange where it
mates with the cv joint, that was my impression of them.

They also could be 911 pieces added to the trailing arms, if not real /6.

Well bought!

Perhaps this solves one of the greatest Porsche mysteries ever... what really happened to the special pair of prototype stub axles meant for Ferdinand Porsche's 914-8. 38 years later, it is a mystery no more...

There are no markings on them. I haven't yet taken them off the CVs, won't be able to do that until next weekend. I'm using a picture of 914/6 stubs from Pelican parts (attached) for comparison.

Here's a picture Andy posted in Reid's thread:

Looks like they could be the real deal.

Excellent! Nice find Bryan (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

I wonder on the set as I bought & sold a 75 I think years ago. It had a complete 5-lug setup on it. I wonder if you could special order one that way. The car was pretty unimpressive besides. I wouldn't have thought someone made the swap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . I know the car made the rounds as I sold it to Craig who later sold it to someone up in Portland. Guy told me they were real 6 rears on it? Car was a 75 though? One o fthe cars I sold I should have hung onto (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I tapped the stub axle and out came.... what I believe is a 914/6 stub axle! 28 splines, sure looks like one, but I've only seen them in pictures! Can anyone confirm?

28 splines, yep, you're golden! Nice find. Looks like those things have taken some abuse, I wonder if this is cause for concern? "I" wonder, others here will just know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I don't think so... the grooves are equal on both stubs and and look like they're "supposed" to be there. Strange though, as they are absent in the pictures of other 914/6 stubs... I noticed that too... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I've begun to disassemble the rear trailing arms. I drove out the hubs with a metal pipe and hammer, and then removed the stubs from the CVs. I had to figure out how to hold the axles to loosen the CV bolts with the axles removed from the car. I ended up bolting the already removed hubs to the disks, then clamping the disks in a vice, then fitting the stub inside the hub, which worked just fine.

All I can say is what a dirty, greasy, disgusting mess this is.

Tonight I removed the bearings from the trailing arms. In order to do this atraumatically, I made a homemade bearing puller for about $10 and a trip to Ace Hardware.

And the result! Held the big bolt with a Vice Grip, turned the nut, and the bearing came out like buttah!

Question... the inside of the trailing arm looks as though it has a plastic sleeve in there... am I seeing this correctly? The reason I ask is that I was planning on bringing both trailing arms to the local metal cleaner and have the grease and grime taken care of before I have them powdercoated. However, if these are dipped, the plastic will melt. Anyone know for sure? There's just too much grease in there still for me to get a good look.

I also need to call my local powdercoater and ask him how dirty a piece he'll accept. I know media blasting can clean parts up, but these are really dirty...

There is no plastic in there. Just grease... and dirt.

Did all of the bearing come out? Isn't there suppose to be a cover over the balls?
