i am trying to get the front diff out, i hve undone the backlash adjusters (i think) and its sitting there but i cant quite get it out, where am i going wrong?

[dubbedup]

yeah that would be mint, i can get it so its almost free but it looks like I have to fully dissemble the whole diff, but im sure it must come out as a complete unit...i just cant figure put how...

[Guest boostin]

Is the trans out of the car?

[dubbedup]

yep car trans to fubard, diff is mint tho, i haven't taken bearings out yet, so maybe that is a place to start looking.

[Guest boostin]

Eh what? Is it still in the car?

[dubbedup]

nah on the floor....

some quick pic's, I'm not going to remove the diff as there's nothing wrong with it, & it didn't refresh my memory either, Hey Boostin once the back lash & bearing shells have been removed, i'm sure the inner cv stubs can be removed from the diff, but it been years like 8 or so years ago when i did this last & even then i just pulled stuff apart to see how it worked, any idea's mate

Yeah pull the stubs out, then the bearing cups etc out, then the diff should be able to be maneuvered out from there.

The diff casing needs to be separated from the rest of the trans though.

[dubbedup]

yep i have it in a million parts as its going to the scrapper, just want to keep the diff just in case ya know

[Guest boostin]

Keep the pinion shaft too then. They're a matched pair.

[dubbedup]

not sure what part that is...but Im also struggling getting the 2 bits out the inside of the other half of the trans.... the main bit wiht all the band inside it and like a long part that goes from start to finish

[Guest boostin]

The thing with 4 bolts holding it in is the diff end of the pinion shaft. It runs right through to the transfer gears at the back of the trans.

Got pics of what you're talking about?

[dubbedup]

yep have tried to get that out, but don't have tools big enough to lock onto the shaft to undo the nut at the other end..

im looking at the exact same gearbox as one pictured

[Guest boostin]

I think the one at the back is a 34 or 35mm socket. I usually just rattle it off.

That whole face that picture is looking at is the oil pump. It has to come off to get to the rest of the innards, and to get it off the pinion nut has to come off the back.

[dubbedup]

ok so from here i take pinion shaft out, by undoing nut and removing it (i have already undone the 4 bolts) then i have access to otehr shaft, i have undone teh allenkey end, is there a knack or will it be obvious when i get the pinion shaft out?

CLICK!!!

i have tried to remove the face but couldn't get it to come off but once i remove it it will fall to bits basically?

[Guest boostin]

Yeah, you just gotta get that nut undone and then smack the end of the shaft where the nut was with a soft hammer, or a hard hammer with a bit of wood against the shaft.

[dubbedup]

sweet will have to try and track down some big spanners....

[Guest boostin]

Once you crack that nut off it will be pretty easy.

If you put those 4 bolts back in the pinion bearing flange, when you whack the end of the pinion it will pull the whole oil pump assembly off the trans case.

Did you get the diff out in the end?

[dubbedup]

nah gave up and stripped a few radiators and other alloy bits and bobs tha have been taking up too much room in the garage..

[dubbedup]

ok so im looking at this and i cant see a way of getting the axles out, other than undoing the 12 or so bolts holding the diff together.

there appears to be a key way to lock it up but cant see anyway of undoing it..

pic of keyway bit.

bigger shot, bearing off.

[Guest boostin]

Stick a phillips screwdriver through the hole in the stub, then chuck a lever or 2 under it and flick it out. You don't need to undo the 12 crownwheel bolts.

[dubbedup]

sweet thanks heaps boostin

[Guest boostin]

All good. Just get a bit brutal on it. Those clips hang on pretty good.

[dubbedup]

I had to get brutal to get the bearing out of the other end... ended up smashing the corner off it and still the bearing hung in there...

yeah im all good with being forceful hahaha
