I picked my front diff up from the blasters yesterday and was planning on painting it up along with the rear diff.

However After taking the diff plate off to inspect the internals just in case I was met with this,



So it was out with the spanners,





The whole thing has to be stripped down so I can flush it out and clean out the sand/grit :doh:

Most of today being spent on this and sourcing all new oil seals and o ring from Ford,



Really pleased how it all came out, but it was so time consuming, here's hoping we have a nice sunny day soon so I can get the casing's painted up,
