Urgent Diagnosis help needed

I think the bearings probably ought to be changed if they are going in a new carrier ;-)
Thrasher:
I would agree with Tim, my LSD's went in with new bearings and races. I do have the old races, but they will need cleaning up as they have been off the vehicle for over a year in the garage, which aint known for being dry ;-)
Secondly ... there is the possibility the breakage is in the diff nose....between the flange and the crown wheel....!
gords:
Well, I'm still lost :cry:
I just started it up, in normal box and 1st. Car doesn't move but output shaft from the gearbox is turning. I already know that it will drive on the front wheels in diff-lock.
I put both half shafts in the diff and tried various stuff - the only way I could make both half shafts move without moving the crown/input shaft was to turn the half shafts in opposite directions.
Is there anyone who could pop by and take a look please?

The pinion and pinion gear are attached to the input flange... this is turned by the propshaft.
The crownwheel (the big one) is bolted to the diff carrier and is directly meshed with the pinion gear, so this will always turn.
There are then a few more gears...
The side gears (shown in brown) into which the halfshafts fit
The planet gears (shown in red) which sit on a cross pin
When both wheels have good traction, as the crownwheel turns, the whole diff cage turns as well (the planet gears are working against each other) and the shafts both turn.
When one wheel has less traction, or is turning at a different speed (when cornering) there is a difference in rotation of the planet gears and the power is distributed across the shafts.
Because the planet gears are always working against each other, they need to be secured, and they need to be able to turn freely.

Nice answer.

Were the bolts holding the drive flanges all present and correct ?
You got any pictures of the halfshafts ?
