Re: Using a spring spreader and surviving
Can I suggest you get a guide on rebuilding rear ends? I'm just doing the job on my 41 now (replacing both axles, seals etc), and the Vern Tardel guide has been very helpful to me, although there may be others. A small expense and a useful step through the job.
I could not imagine how much harder the job would be with the diff centre in the car! The other thing to consider is its only 10 mins more work to take the whole unit out of the car. It's not rocket surgery but banjo diffs have their quirks - have you looked into setting the lash on the drive pinion yet? A lot easier on the bench.

Re: Using a spring spreader and surviving
Is rocket surgery easier than brain science?

Re: Using a spring spreader and surviving
"the job" is to change out an axle. You don't need to mess with the torque tube for that. ...And 10 minutes? OK, with a hot wrench, maybe.

Re: Using a spring spreader and surviving
OK, clamshell, rear brake hose and speedo cable, maybe not 10 mins.
How do you set the lash with the drive shaft attached? What effort would you save leaving the banjo and torque tube in the car? I haven't put it back in the car yet, so I may yet have to eat my words.... (Certainly, I'll be eating Ibuprofen!) Last edited by fortyonerag; 09-09-2017 at 06:07 AM. |

Re: Using a spring spreader and surviving
I have to agree. It's a fairly easy task to swap out an axle. There is no need to remove the differential from the chassis.

Re: Using a spring spreader and surviving
Yes I agree to, it could be done in the car ,it could save removing the floor boards to get to the clam shell ,just a difficult working position .
