Hey all.
Well, in an attempt to fix the infamous cracked rear diff.
bracket/frame. I was trying to take off the old (only 5 years old)
rubber bushings to replace with new ones. Well, one of the bolts
in the rear was frozen up and the head started to strip out.
I soaked it, and waited. tried to loosen. I got the nut dismounted
from the other side, but the bolt would not come loose....
long story short:
The cast broke off at the "ear" where the bolt goes through the diff.
I will now need to replace the rear portion of the diff. with a new
cast section!!!!
i was being so mindful of the freakin' aspect of the diff. being cast, but
ended up breaking the ear of anyway!
there goes my hopes of getting the 6 back on the road tomorrow!
GREAT,....Thanks murphy [law].
Does anyone have a spare lying around or know if from the big three
if this is even available?
thanks all.
