Front Diff Replacment, Any Help Would be Great

(1/3) > >>

Hi all, further to my last post have figured out the whining noise on my 90 is coming from the front diff, can see where it's throwing out oil out of the back of the diff where the prop joins it which prob means bearings are shot aswell (causing whining), sound like a good diagnosis? Going to replace the whole diff, never done it before, do I have to remove the two halfshafts in order to get it out? I'm guessing I do. Any help would be great.
Thanks all.

Told you!!!! sorry mate,you shouldnt pay any more than £50.00 for a secondhand diff but MAKE SURE ITS THE SAME RATIO AS THE BACK ONE,I wish id have known ive just slung one out for a 90!!!

BK:
Yes undo the 4 prop bolts (14mm) and drop the prop down, slide the short stubby halfshafts out,undo all the front hub bolts,slide the hub and halfshafts out about 6 inches (watch the brake lines) undo all bolts around the diff (after youve drained it)and pull the diff out and its a tight fit and v heavy.....good luck :D

tjolliffe:
Cheers BK, is there any way of telling what ratio my back diff is? I'm fairly sure it's standard, think thats 3:5 rite?

Xtremeteam:
all coil sprung vehicles are 3.54 ratio

just have to make sure you get the correct spline as there is 2 options 10 & 24 spline
