Title: how too change front diff
Post by: windowlicker on April 06, 2007, 11:27:50

i am going to get another front diff and i am guessing the quickest way to change it is to unbolt both swivel balls to release the half shafts?

Yes but they are heavy.  You will have problems getting a new gasket in there too and you need to remove most of the steering.

The slightly lighter method is to remove the callipers, hubs stub axles and withdraw the halfshafts.

24s are worth about 3 times what a 10s worth.

Untill about a week after I scrap all mine probably :roll:
