Fitting an Ashcroft ATB to my Salisbury axle
Hybrid_From_Hell replied to Peaklander's topic in The Differential & Axle Forum
I am looking at that bearing puller ! Whilst we no longer work on Salisburys I am wondering if that might do for other bearings - the short nose head being an absolute bugger to remove ... Could you please measure the OD and ID of a salisbury carrier bearing and let mr know - I think I can lathe up collars / spacers if need be, the kit I looked at also comes with 3 x bearing adapters ......I see a plan forming possibly ! Post up when you can after you've dug out the old ones lol !! Nige -

Ok, Bear in mind the bearings etc are new, but the CW&P is not and may have done Moon Miles (and back ) As such you have to accept wear, and that the blue check run out back lash may be close or even out of "Spec". We tend to start this final process "by Feel" helps when you do it every B day you do get "a Feel" for where things are Then we rotate and jiggle it about and see if its quiet - if it not quiet the blue check is rather irrelevant ! If there are no tight spots and it sounds and feels smooth then and only then do with get the Dial Gauge out and measure, for us its more checking we are where we think we are, minor adjustments, and a quadrant check etc, and then we check again for run out and tight spot and that its quiet. Finally if we are happy with all of the above we blue check it, even then you can be caught out with weird patterns from previous wear / damage, but what you are hoping for is more confirmation thats the previous steps are all good and so too the blue check I think that is a good pattern, if there are no tight spots and it sounds quiet I would stick with that . - There is always the ability to fiddle some more and end up with it worse ....been there done that, ......prob do it again, so run with it if it all seems ok Nige -

100% agree check crown whe has no burrs on inside of bits of old loctite poking about clean clean clean wipe ATB as well with acetone or brake cleaner assemble and bolt up in stages and do it like a cylinder head not go around the circle 3 stages of going up is fine then go around and double check each bolt is up to torque and loctite it as it’s done and there isn’t much else you can do there so go for it clean clean clean -

some casings at 30+ years do not like being stretched - not enough and it won' come out too much and thats a shagged axle tube, and rust and old age do not help Its an old trick but before you tighten the carrier bolts up fully give them a big clout with a hammer, sometimes you can hear a click 0 thats the race just settling which can defo help Whats the backlash in the 4 quadrants ? nige -
I have heard from a few peeps who race that amazingly the current Britpart CVs are actually very decent !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok My 3p worth From a business point a view I see it all. I have customers with highly tuned engines on 37s who do full blown competitions........ and drive PROPERLY................. know when to stop ...................and when to use a winch................ and don't do any damage I have others who can blow up top of the range Diffs, CVs 300M shafts at a playday before lunchtime as they don't do any of the above and don't have any mechanical sympathy. OLD diff CVs and half shafts may be questionable, as they could have had owner 1 or owner 2, who knows, ..............but it is also valid that some pattern stuff is highly dubious One top tip is if you ever buy any new half shaft - get a razor blade and put a scratch full length top to bottom - then if when its ever out look at the line, if there is a twist you've saved the big bang / ££££££££s Driver 'No 2s' can do this sort of thing ............... https://fb.watch/qtkTWUyzkY/ .....................and that was not built very long ago ................................. 🙄

Correcting run out on a salisbury is tricky at best - from another angle whats the back lash at 12 o clock 3 6 and 9 in numbers old school thou would be good if you can if mm I'll convert and advise Nige -

Yeah was told same with SKF and NTN vs Timken but if the pinion & Crown wheel have done loads of miles its not a crucial as if all new ! If you leave the shim as is and add a new bearing the pattern will be what the pattern is - its the backlash and run out to work on basically the pinion is what it is / and will be, you are just adjusting the crown wheel in / out to mesh with the pinion and get the right level out run out and back lash. Don't go bonkers in trying to set backlash as if the CW&P is new, be a bit more generous, the likelyhood is it go go too tight you will have big run out be a bit more generous and you'll get a bigger backlash number but way lower run out and its run out that can make diffs hum !!!!!!!!!!!!

and this is the last hurdle ....................... bonkers complex and huge money might add to the can't be arsed list
