Re: Can't separate axle shaft from carrier

I have axle shims, but when I use them there's no way I'll get the cotter pin inserted if I also use the axle shim between hub and nut. It seems that the drum is not rubbing on the backplate, so I'd...

Re: Can't separate axle shaft from carrier

Well, there *might* be a new problem. When assembling the rear drums on the new axles I get a scratching sound when turning the drum. It seems that the brake shoe rubs somewhere on the drum. Is that...

Re: Can't separate axle shaft from carrier

*an eternity later*


So I finally got around to work on the A yesterday. We spent the entire day setting up the rear end with the 2nd carrier half that John sent me (again MASSIVE THANKS to...

Re: Can't separate axle shaft from carrier

At least my old diff carrier is quite soft steel, or else I wouldn't have been able to machine it on my turning machine. If one used proper steel, lasercut the shims and surface-treated them they...

Re: Can't separate axle shaft from carrier

Thanks for the article. I can't imagine how much time ends you must have spent working on Model A's in your life so far. :P


It may be a dumb idea and proven to not work, but if one has a diff...

Re: Can't separate axle shaft from carrier

Hello John,


yes, the good part and your part are identical, apart from the part number.

Honestly, I wouldn't have thought to check the part before sending it out either, because how probable...

Re: Can't separate axle shaft from carrier

Unfortunately not as my turning machine isn't big enough for that. (it's mainly for scale models, not for cars or machinery)
And having a ring machined probably isn't much cheaper than ordering a...

Re: Can't separate axle shaft from carrier

I'm just as surprised about the different OD. Either someone turned it down for whatever reaseon (ring gear from a different model??) or the english cars really had different ring gears for some...

Re: Can't separate axle shaft from carrier

Update:

My bad luck seems to continue. The diff-carrier John sent me has 2 differences to the old one:


A) The raised parts on the flange that center the two halves are missing.

B) The...

Re: Can't separate axle shaft from carrier

Another question:

Les' book says to disassemble the diff and check bearing clearance without the axles and spider. Is there any specific reason for that?
I think that it wouldn't really matter...

Re: Can't separate axle shaft from carrier

Hello John,

yes, that's exactly the one I need, A-4205-B. Seems like yours is a later revision? It has 2 additional holes from the inside to the outside, probably for improved lubrication.
I've...

Re: Can't separate axle shaft from carrier

Hello guys,

using a spindle press at work I was able to get the diff carrier off the axle shaft. I've attached pictures of the diff carrier.

There is excessive wear at the bearing surface of...

Re: Can't separate axle shaft from carrier

Good morning John,


I've bought new axles for 500 bucks each here in Germany. I could still return them if you had a cheaper alternative, but I guess that usable axles are at leat 300 bucks in...

Re: Can't separate axle shaft from carrier

I'll post the reason for the problem as soon as I can get the shaft out.

I also wrote an email to Bert's this afternoon asking if they have a carrier (half or complete) in stock. If someone on...

Re: Can't separate axle shaft from carrier

The new axle shaft is already here, bought a pair as the other was even worse. Weirdly, the passenger side carrier looks absolutely fine and went apart without any problems.
I guess I'll try to get...

Re: Can't separate axle shaft from carrier

Of course the spider gears and the yoke are removed. I've attached a picture of the carrier with the axle and one of the threaded end, which is the reason I want to change it out. It looks a bit too...

Re: Can't separate axle shaft from carrier

Tried that too, didn't work. But I'll try it again tomorrow, maybe I was too much of a sissy. I'm starting to think that there's no other way to separate them, either that way or with a big press...

Re: Can't separate axle shaft from carrier

Exactly!


I already feared that it was hard to explain.:D


So step by step:

- removed rear end from car *check*
- removed drivers side axle housing from rear end *check*

Re: Can't separate axle shaft from carrier

That was my first thought too, but even when my helper centered it and I pushed it or hit the threaded end of the axle with a hammer, it immediately tilted to one side and seized up upon traveling a...

Can't separate axle shaft from carrier

Hello guys,


I'm starting to go insane over here. I've removed the rear end, disassembled the diff but I can't get the da**ed axle shaft off the carrier! The side without the pinion ring simply...
