Got a socket sorted today ![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)
I ended up buying a 36mm 12 point shallow socket for Ł10.80 and a 100mm piece tube from the blacksmiths for Ł2
Took it home and cut the socket in half then welded the piece of tube in place and jobs a goodun

So diffs both stripped down completely ready for cleaning and rebuild, also stud the front diff to M8 studs
Markk - i managed to undo the pinion nut just by holding the pinion with my hand and using the snap on impact gun![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)

Thanks for the comments and replies guys ![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)
Thanks mate, all the stuff i do anybody could do if they gave it a try im sure, i do things for other people if asked and im confident i can do it
Studs are better and easier all round, they distribute the force between the stud and the nut so less stress on both parts when tightened, so greater clamping can be achieved and they make assembling the diff easier as there a guide for the plate and cover, just like it is easier to fit a car wheel that uses studs rather than one that uses bolts,
Anytime mate, would take 2 minutes to re drill and tap the inlet,

Nice work Mark, you got some nice toys since I was last on here and enjoying making your own parts I see! Reading over the last 10 pages has got me right in the mood for a tinker in the garage!

Thanks for the comments,
Glad your enjoying the updates Dan![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)
I re-made the Aeroquip adapters for the power steering fittings as i was not happy with the ones from before, done a few sets of these as some other people wanted some, have managed to shorten them to the absolute minimum overall height and shorten the spanner hex,
I also used 0.5mm oversize cross section o'rings so the seal is that little bit tighter than the 15 year old rack o'rings
Not bad for an adapter made in my garage ay![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)

Cheers guys
As said above they will be secured with the original plate that holds the standard fittings in place and slots in the groove in the fittings and bolts to the rack, no pics of that as it's been sent away for zinc plating to Chris Latham at passion restoration products, along with everything else which I am hoping will be back this week

Looking good Marc, one slight mistake, the faces of the flanges need to be cleaned as you can't bolt a disc ontop of the powder coat.
I just sent my bits away and typically now wish I'd of had the roll bar powder coated instead of zinc coated ! Quick phone call in the morning I reckon lol
