Can an axle shaft from an ABS D30 be used in any D30? Does that ring come off....is it just pressed on?
TIA
 
They will fit with the tone ring on. It sure looks pressed on or something, not part of the shaft itself. I swapped some ABS shafts in my disco non-ABS D30 and didnt really want to keep the tone ring on. I set it up on my vice and banged it around a little, it wasn't moving, so I left it on. Thought about heading over to a buddy's with a press, but said fawkit.
 
Thanks man!
 
I have run into this before and have found that some of the exciter rings on axles are pressed on(very tightly at that) and some are pressed on and then spot welded.
