: I used to slide the 'ears' in under the
: pinch point, locate the two front
: mounts loosely, and then use a big
: screwdriver or prybar between the
: 'ears' and the crossmemeber to raise
: the 'ears' into position until the
: holes lined up for the long bolt to be
: tapped into place.
: BTW, you can also use two shorter bolts
: instead of one long one if need be (the
: factory did that at various times).

: Ed this brings back some (bad)
: memories...
: I think you are on to it, I would check
: some dimensions & spacing of the
: bushes.
: I have some of my old notes here (that
: I can't even read) that suggest the
: bush/chassis bracket width is 1.5
: inches but don't quote me on it.
: Let us know what you find.

: 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?
