zenki + kouki diff questions

[dehney]

hey all

i know the axels are a different size but can you run a kouki center and axels in a zenki diff housing ?

[Rice86]

As long as it's a T series diff center it will fit

[shift_rook]

the kouki axles are dual bearing so i'm pretty sure no you can not, unless there's a way to modify to fit single row bearings to the kouki axles. richard do you know this information first hand?

[hachi_dk]

Remove the double row bearings and fit the single row bearings and yes it will fit

[RobertoX]

The difference in large and small bearing isn't because of Zenki or Kouki.
It changes wheter it is disc or drum brake

The narrow bearing of the Drum brake can be pressed onto the Disc brake axle.
There might not be enough seat on the drum brake axle to use the wider bearing though (has anyone tried this?)

Wide bearings can only be used in the Disc brake housing and narrow only in the Drum housing.



Difference in Zenki and Kouki:
Zenki has a 23mm pitch diameter spline
Kouki has a 24.3 Pitch diameter spline
Both are 23 Teeth.


Also, the length of the open center axle is 8mm longer than LSD axle (Spline length is the same).

[dehney]

so if i swap the narrow bear on to the kouki axle it should fit into my zenki diff housing using my kouki center ?

[slide86]

If you put a narrow bearing on a kouki axle and use a kouki centre it will all work, in a zenki housing.

so yes.......haha
