In looking through the Bentley manual, there is no mention of tolerance when
just replacing the oil seal on the pinion shaft. If fact the instructions
are so short, I'll list them here:
1) Remove the rear axle (the diff) from the car
2) remove the drive flange (I bet this is tougher than this simple
instruction implies)
3) withdraw the oil seal
4) fit new oil seal (lip towards the pinion)
5) refit the drive flange
6) install the rear axle
Am I missing something or is the tolerance only an issue when messing with
the bearings?
Also, I have purchased a set of poly bushings for the diff with the thought
that they will put less strain on the diff mounting posts (less flex, less
strain?). However, one of my Triumph buddies says that they might increase
the stress on the posts and that it creates more noise than rubber. Any
experience with the poly for street use?
TIA,
Peter
