Differential
Posted: Sat Jan 07, 2006 1:17 am
Hi all. I'm in need of help again I'm afraid - quite a busy stage in the restoration / rebuild... good fun though (at least that's what I'm telling myself).
Has anyone else found it difficult to remove the diff from the chassis? The bushes came out easily enough, but I was there for ages struggling with the diff - just wouldn't come out. I eventually resorted to brute force, and prised it out.
I'm inspecting the diff now. I'm not sure how to estimate what work should be carried out on it, if any. I'd rather leave it alone for the moment as it's not leaking. Anyone know what the key signs are? Am I better off just waiting and seeing if it's noisy?
I'm fitting Sue Miller's CV driveshafts also. The flanges on the diff and hubs have pins in the centre, which I will need to remove. I presume this is normal as part of this conversion.
All the best.
Sean.
