Freeing a stuck difflock lever
« on: October 10, 2009, 18:00:27 »
Got the missus a nice 300 but the difflock lever is stuck. I've got high and low box now after a lot of lubrication and waggling but whats the best way of freeing it up so I can get difflock.

You need to remove the gear lever surround etc.. and access the top of the gearbox...... the difflock lever mechanism will be siezed.....when i did mine, i removed it and did it in a vice, gently tapping it one way and the other...... and wd-ing it at the same time... be careful, as the ally casting isn't that beefy..... and the steel shaft is whats stuck...... enjoy...

If you can't get yours unstack - or get a bit too "frustrated"  ](*,) - let me know, I've got a lever here from a replaced gearbox that you can have gratis (well postage!) it if you need it.  :grin:
