1985 honda 250sx rear alxe fitment question

[kevin]

I have a buggered rear axle in my 1985 250sx and my buddy has a 1985 big red 250es with a good axle will this work in my sx? Just looking at swapping axle only

Just look at the way the drum brake seals. If you can see a drum spin, it should fit the 85. If the drum is in a sealed housing, that's 86/87 style...

Thanks DC they are both definitely the ones with spinning drums but wasn't sure if they'd be the same width or possibly different hub spline. Buddies parts trike isn't easily accessible so wanted to find out for sure before I make the trec. Tried even researching on ebay but all the 85 big red listed just show BR specific no mention of BR and sx. Hoping to hear from someone that would know for sure.

Get ahold of James on Trackshare. He will know.

I'd take DC's word on this one.

Have you checked part numbers? I have a couple 85 rear axles if it doesn't work out.

Thanks everyone found out the part numbers are the same for them both so looks like they'll swap over
