havent even looked at it yet i belive its a simple job but can any one tell me what i need to do as i aint got a clue

 

juts rag the living tits off its till the fooker smashes to peices

 

exhaust off, half shafts off, prop off, diff mount off then diff locating bolts out jobs a good un

 

u make it sound simple why do i get the feeling its not

 

is easy enough actually

 

Watch it doesn't land on your head

 

or your chest

 

with spanners

 

one pice of advice tap the torx bit into the bolts in the drive flange or u will round them off

 

Top advice there

 

AS said above!!! And before you put it back just nock the cradle a bit just to open it out a bit! (though not to much) as it can be a coont to get back in and lined up!! The hardest part of it imo

 

AGHHHHHHHHHHHHH lactic acid build up

 

cheers guys this is a big job for me not really looking forward to it

 

takes me about 35mins

 

Sounds like a practiced man...... just like myself... got so many busted diffs could start a museum

 

gus your more than welcome to the job my friend

 

me aswell half are going in a skip this weekend

 

your too far away mate ort i would have

 

 

thanks m8 appreciate the offfer

 

well i might be able to free some time

 

Jack rear of the car up, undo the driveshafs (T50 hex shaped), easiest way Ive found is to undo the handbrake and take car out of gear spinning the wheels to access all the bolts, but putting handbrake back on if you have no one to hold the wheel in place while undoing them!

Once all 12 (IIRC) driveshaft bolts are undone and they are moved out the way undo the prop shaft in same way to access the 4 bolts (15mm bolts). Then undo the two top 19mm (IIRC) bolts first as these can thread when trying to get the diff back in if not lined up correctly, so take no chances!


Then support diff with a jack and undo the 4 13mm bolts holding the back plate to the chassis and remove the black bump stop thing (Slides into place on the chassis (IIRC). Then undo the centre nut and 2 front boltsand remove the 2 front ones! Then remove the long bolt (Exhaust may get in the way, depending which way the bolt is placed) and the diff should be free unless Ive missed something

It may need a bit of persuassion (Sp??) to remove it and get the rear mount over the rear ARB, but it should lower down

Hope that helps mate... Me bro fooked 24 diffs in a year and we were removing them every week to be rebuilt

@ BBal... I had another mate of mine turn up @ 3am one night to change his diff over as he was going to a RR day @ 7am. We started @ 4 and finished around 6:30. I done most the diff and me bro changed intercooler and a load of other bits for him!! When I give advice I like to give as much info as possible Now CossieNuts can get all the spanners, sockets, etc ready before starting

Dunno bout me Esc Cos, been too busy to do anything tbh. Did the oil change yesterday and should really phone up to see how the gearbox is doing Just got so much other stuff to do atm
