Differential Installation
Posted by Ed on 3/12/2013, 10:22 am
I've tried to re-install this diff now five times... it's a heavy bugger to lift! The problem is getting the "bearing bosses" at the rear to slide into the vertical braces of the chassis/frame... to align for the "long bolt" installation, which slides through without problems. I've cleaned the area of rust, sharp weld edges, primered, and put anti-sieze grease through the center piece. The bosses either go high or low, away from the bolt holes. I'm thinking of pulling it out again, and taking mic. readings of the bearings and the inside mount areas to see if the new bearings are too wide. 'Got them from VB a while back. I read the job should only take an hour at most. I'm also using a floor-lift, but the diff. being so round just wants to roll off while on the lift. Any ideas?
