Troddenmasses Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 First of all, you could do with a workshop manual - if you don't have one, you can download the 'borrowed' copy that I have - I have uploaded it to my website for you: My website - you need book 3, section 51. Basically, you would take out the half shafts and remove the diff. At that point you can work out exactly where the slack is coming from. My best guess would be that if you were to hold the pinion, where the propshaft bolts on to, there would be lots of rotational movement of the diff crownwheel. There should be some (0.1-0.17mm) you would need to measure this with a dti. If there is too much, it can be nipped up quite easily by removing the locking fingers and turning the end cap until the dti is correct. Whilst you are at it, you should make sure that the run out (the amount that the crownwheel is out of true) is less than 0.1mm - again using the dti. If it is, there could have been burrs or dirt on the mating face when it was put together. If this is the case, the crownwheel assembly needs pulling out and sorting out - not a big deal, just a bit of a pain. If you were to put your location into your profile, people near you might be able to offer assistance.

Gromit Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 My website - you need book 3, section 51. The links on your site seem to be broken. Is the process basically the same for a Salisbury? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Hancock Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Salisbury diff setting is totally different having the gear clearances and the differential bearing preload set by shims, the pinion bearing preload is set by crushing a spacer by the tightening of the flange nut.
