Splitting the rear end (2005 TXT)

jpbellis · 01-31-2018, 07:37 PM

I've got the whole rear end axle and all out of my cart. I have the left wheel on and the whole thing sitting on the left wheel with the right axle pointing straight up.. I have all 10 bolts out of the rear end and according to my documentation I should be able to use a mallet and upward force and separate the pumpkin halves allowing me to get to the gears.

Man ... it isn't budging at all!! Anyone ever do this? Tips?

I cant help you get it apart, but Im curious where you found an option to install that... sounds like it could come in handy!

there are a few of them out there. Just search for ezgo limited slip kit. check out youtube. they make a big difference

FYI that posi only works in forward, not reverse if that matters at all to you.

I think Plowman's does a limited slip that works in forward and reverse for EZGOs.

Not at all.

I finally got the diff split... It took a little bit of persuasion that's all!

The Plowman's kit won't work in Gas carts and the folks i spoke to there pretty much only do Yamaha's.
They wanted no part of mine.

I too am in process of splitting the pumpkin, can you give me any pointers? and I like the limited slip diff idea while I am in there. Are you also removing the governor?
