Whats the quickest way to?
« on: April 25, 2007, 18:27:06 »
Hi everyone.

The input bearing on my front diff gave out yesterday. Whats the quickest way to get the diff out. Do i have to remove both the front hubs and all associated gubbins.

Also. What would the ratios be, and how many spline?

Cheers Wayne. :D

Just undo the ring of bolts holding the swivel housings onto the end of the axle tube - with the wheels of and the brake calipers off at the mounts then tied up to the springs to prevent damage to the flexi's, you will get enough movement to clear the ends of the half-shafts out of the diff, then its only a ring of bolts to do back up on each side and the calipers back on then off you go.....

'S the way I do it anyway.......  and I had to change the diff 3 times in a week at one point on my Stage One so I know it works......

Cheers. That was my second option. :)

Hopefully not too much other damage. :(

Just read it again - the ratio will be 3.54:1 but the spline numbers depend on what year it is......

Edited to add a '4' where it was missing cos I cant type!

If you can't fit alloys without the centre caps popping off it's always a 10 spline.

Yes it is a B. Will the spline in the diff end be the same as the hub? If so it is a 10.

Have seen a complete 10 spline rrc axle about half hour from me on ebay. I think itll be worth me changing the lot. £50

Apart from when it's a 24-spline that is (1986 MOD spec with 24-spline diffs as standard).

The CVs will not be as strong in the RR axle. But the Diff will fit fine.

Not quite,

Just bought a job lot of ex military axles up to wolf age & all were 10 spline with the early big cv joints
