My Haynes Manual lists 140 ft-lbs as the torque setting for the tube-type
axle. I just looked it up this weekend, because my rear-end (The B, not me!)
has developed the "Incorrect pre-loading howl" ever since I let the diff
get a little low on oil. The Haynes manual certainly discourages you
from attempting to rebuild the diff yourself. "If you don't have the
special British-Leyland tool number XYZ-1234567-B (revision Z), then
you can TRY to do it with a block of wood, a jug of wine, and thou."
Anyone rebuild the tube-type axle differential? Or at least replace
the thrust washer to achieve the correct pre-loading of 9 in-lbs at the
flange bolt-hole?
Can I flaunt my ignorance here? What is backlash? Thrust?
