Question for those of you out there that are intimately familiar with the
inner workings of the TR6 differential... Concerning the front bearing
(on the input shaft), how does that bearing get a fresh supply of
recirculated oil inside the diff as the diff is turning?
Also, if I am going to replace the front diff seal, does the castle nut in
front of it need to be torqued to a specific torque? The instructions in
the manual are very vague about this. My plan, unless someone from the
list knows otherwise, is simply to mark which thread the castle nut is set
to on the input shaft and put it back to exactly the same spot. It has a
safety wire through the castle nut.
If I replace the side oil seals, what torque should those nuts be
tightened to? They do not have safety wires or castle nuts.
And finally, the replacement front diff seal that Victoria British sold me
has a rubber seal instead of the original leather. Any thoughts on
whether this will be a good or a bad thing?
Thanks, Greg Hutmacher
