Well a week ago I asked about the best way to do the U-joints. When I
dropped the driveline - I figured that the joints were OK. Got new ones -
put in at a shop. Went camping and put the driveline in tonight. Pulled
out of parking spot - same freakin rattle. Kinda figured as much. Since I
can hear it from both sides of the car, it has to be the diff.
Looked in Moss - can't get one. So now I ask - Anybody got a diff for a
78 Wire Wheel Midget?? I know that a 75 - 79 will fit. Not real sure
about Pre RB era diffs but if they are the same I will take one. I will
order new bearings and seals to do at the same time but I need this back
on the road - like last week.
Anybody ever put a diff in a wire wheel Midget? I did one in a steel
wheel Midget about 20 years ago but not sure if the wire wheels are that
much different. I know the diff by itself is a shade tree mechanic job
but what about the bearings? Press needed? Do the bearings need to be
replaced if the diff goes - or is that just good measure?
HELP and TIA
