Turbo R rear hubs

I choose to change my hubs against the Turbo R version.
They feature a splined shaft instead of a wedge mated shaft which is known to refuse to transfer power at times.

In the case of a bearing failure, the Turbo R hubs are also much easier to service.
Unfortunatley, the driveshafts as well as the 2 flanges and stub shafts at the differential also need to be changed for Turbo R parts

Parts list:

2 Turbo R hubs
2 Turbo R driveshafts
2 Turbo R flanges and stub shafts for the differential
24 bolts for the driveshaft


1) Remove driveshafts
2) Remove brake calipers
3) Remove hubs
4) Carefully remove the flanges from the differential
5) Change the bearings and spacers from your old flanges and stub shaft assembly to the Turbo R version. Sturdy circlip pliers are needed to do so.
6) Reinstall the flanges paying attention to their orientation (oil feed holes)
7) Install Turbo R hubs, leave the bolts loose so that the hubs can still be wiggled
8) Install the calipers and brake lines
9) Now tighten the bolts that hold the hub to the suspension arm
10) Install driveshafts
11) Fill up differential fluid, bleed the brakes, adjust the parking brake
