An update and a question, I am in the middle of refurbishing the rear end of my
TR6 with the intention of replacing the trailing arm bushings and differential
seals. As expected, the rust was worse than anticipated and I've now cut-out
and cleaned and have prepped 8 new 16 gauge patch panels to
weld in. Found a guy down the road who welds and will come over and put them
all in for $100, cash of course. That seems like the best approach as I'm a
bad welder and worse on my back in tight quarters. All the associated rear end
parts have been cleaned and painted so they are ready to go but I
have a question on the reassembly of the differential pinion seal. When I took
out the pinion seal, there appeared to be some type of funny washer or spacer
either behind the seal or it was part of the seal. Couldn't quite tell because
I had the mangle the seal so bad to get it out. This is not a
flat washer but wavy or almost correlated and aligned in the Z direction. TRF
doesn't show this in the catalog but does talk about a spacer. Any help is
appreciated because I'm getting ready to start the reassembly and hoping to
finish in the next 5-6 weeks. Thanks
