I can send a photo of my homemade spreader if you wish.

: Thanks Glen.

: My plan was to turn the spacer from bar
: stock based on the rough dimensions of
: the crush sleeve when/if removed.

: It will be a while until I can get out
: to the garage to measure the backlash
: and examine the teeth carefully. I
: won't need any specific measurement
: until I decide the spare diff is worth
: messing with. Unlike the oil pump,
: this one is really on the back
: burner... especially since my son says
: the car has made the noises I noticed
: all of the time he has driven it. Who
: knew!

: I modify an early MG front hub bearing
: spacer because the dimensions are good
: for the application and it just needs a
: couple mods, and because I have a box
: of used ones...
: The important number is to make it
: 1.490 thick, and shim from there. I do
: have noted that using this MG spacer,
: the small end bore has to be opened up
: to 1.00. I can mic one of them up for
: OD and big end ID if you want but they
: just have to be a good fit on the shaft
: & the inner bearing races. It needs
: to be stout as well, so if you make one
: from scratch make it strong enough so
: it won't collapse at all when the
: flange nut is tightened...
