Re: the discouraging differential saga continues...

Dave,
          I'm not sure about your old one but the "newer diff's have a
collapsible spacer on the pinion,any time you loosen the pinion nut it has
to be put back     exactly    where it was. (prick punch the nut and the
pinion,and count the turns to remove) If you tighten the nut more than it
was, the diff has to be disassembled in order to change the spacer,then set
up correctly. I would avoid removing the nut unless ABSOLUTELY necessary.
And if it was,I would have the Bentley manual at my side when doing it.
   This is only if you have a collapsible spacer, Parts books and serial
numbers can help you there.

                                                             Good Luck,
                                                              Bob Harris
