I've recently put my new engine in my erst and replaced the clutch with an AP paddle one. Since then I've had a wyning noise from the engine on downshifting. I thought at first it might of benn the alternator, but it turns out it's the diff bearings that are shagged. I'm going to replace them and was wondering how easy is it? do I have to get one or two bearings? has anyonew done this before?

 

This might help you

cheers mate thats a well interesting website! think it will come in handy!

 

No problem

 

Pulling the 5th gear off is the only part that might need serious tools. The one that Ford use is brilliant. A few times I've thrown the gearbox in the back of the truck and briven to Ford and borrowed the tool for 5 minutes and just done the job outside on the parking lot.
