Taking on the black art of the front diff

(1/3) > >>

dxmedia:
The pinion has been wining for too long now, so bit the bullet and ordered new bearings crush seal and oil seal.

Reading up and it's doesn't look too bad and it's not really a black art... Should have it done on Thurday just in case I need special delivery parts for Friday.

If I get a chance I'll take a few picks for a write up.

Bishops Finger:
Hope it goes OK...

The Smiths:
not too bad

But not sure which one you have thats got a crush sleeve in :? - there are some about, but generally older

should look similar to this:



the ones I have worked on used shims in a D30 (in the picture), crush sleeve in a D35:

dxmedia:
I've ordered all the parts from from Lighthouse after a good chat with them. It's a D30 on a ZG so I'm taking his word for it they are the right parts.  30 in lb on the pinion after the crush sleeve initially goes.

cooter davenport:
take it easy and keep checking the rolling resistance

and yes there is a good mix up crush and shim d30s out there vin no is critical for parts ordering
