The halfshaft gets popped out at the transaxle with a
pry bar or very large common screwdriver. Once it is
popped free it becomes easy to remove.

Full Throttle Kustomz installs the Renegade axle by
first popping it into the Corvette’s transaxle. Once we’ve
confirmed the axle has seated, the rest comes easy.


12


The GForce output splines are inserted through the hub as
shown, which is not an interference fit. The splined shaft
slides through the hub and is secured by the locknut.


09


Renegade axles are machined from proprietary aero-
space billet alloy featuring 31-spline axle bars and bil-
let machined CV joints. These CV joints provide greater travel
and increased operating angle. Renegade axles also include
one-piece CNC-machined billet steel inner and outer stubs
machined from single pieces of billet steel.

11


The brake assembly has to be moved well out of the way to
clear the halfshaft CV output splines. You can disconnect
the upper control arm at the riser or swing it out of the way.

13


Once the shaft is splined into the brake hub, reassembly
begins with the bottom shock mount, stabilizer link, tie-
rod end and upper control arm. Although the C5/C6 rear sus-
pension looks involved it is actually quite easy to service.
