It's a twat!!!!

The front bolt is an 1/8th of a turn, turn the spanner round, 1/8th of a turn job!!!

And it's a right wiggle to get the actual diff in and out!!

When you put it back in, you need to put the front bolt in BEFORE you offer it back up to the sump, as there's not room to after as I found out once!!

 

Agree with Kev, get that bolt in first or you'll never get it in.

When i took that one out my Black escort it tested my patience but im sure you'll get there in the end Dave!

Take it Dean is coming up to offer his services??

 

make sure you remove take the cross shaft (goes therough sump) first, the job is then quite easy

 

AS martin says

 

what sort off oil does it take as mine has leaked out
