Small update!!

I have built up the final drive on my new diff..First I needed to strip an old diff in order to get the output shaft out. The diff bearings come apart easy enough, and then I used the pullers to get the inner race off..





next was to undo the six crown wheel bolts. then a smalll tap with a rubber mallet and its apart..





This is the bit I was after..



So all the bits go in the parts washer for a good clean.



And here is the new crown wheel waiting to go on..



64 divided by 17 = a final drive ratio of 3.76

New fiber washer on the ouput shaft, has been soaked in oil for a while.



And then all bolted to the cross pin diff...Job done!!



And if anyone fancys a 3.1 final drive...PM me!!

Haggis is looking a wee bit nervous, I think he knows whats about to happen, and how fast he's going to go this year!!




Its ok boy!! it wont hurt...Open wide!!!

All out!! Was easy..all the bolts had been copper greased when they were fitted, so they flew out!!



The subby was pretty clean...not bad after a year or so in the car, oil leakage and brake fluid leak didnt help, But here it is ready to go the the shot blasters!!



Tonight I took the rear wheels and radius arms off haggis, its still pretty clean under here..







Not going to remove the rear subframe, just give everything a good claean and bolt stuff back on..

These are the shiny bits that arrived this week...Hope to be back on the road by next weekend!!
