I made one. You can get the core parts on line and weld up the steel frame. Or, if you know a ford transit garage, they might have one.

Will this thing work ? (Made with what i had here at my Garage)

Looks good…
Not read the whole thread but saw you had spun a 1/2 shaft.
Now if the end was wheel end no need to split the diff. Rotate the diff to check damage

Better look at pics on page 4 then Phill.
Recon spreader should work, it only has to open case enough to take load off bearing races.

Later today Will try it out.
Read the diff is really heavy. How heavy is that? I am doing this alone, can I man handle it?

 

[tottot]

About the same as a Rover diff in its case.

 

[Almiscarado]

Its out!

The culprit:

Now, what do i need to disassemble to unweld this diff?

 

[tottot]

You need to open it up, all them bolts around the outer. Mark case both sides so it goes back in same place.
You tube "Britannica Restorations" for how to set it all back up.
But before going there can you see any welding on the bevel gears through the casing? Poke a screwdriver in and see if it is possible to turn those bevel diff gears.

The red Arrow gear seems to move freely but has limited movement because of the other with wich it interates.

Sorry,.do not know the names...

 

[Almiscarado]

Is this normal for a broken half shaft?

 

[Wildefalcon]

Yes. That's normal. Unusual for a Salisbury to fail.

 

[Wildefalcon]

This is mostly right:

Tonight i acomplished the removal of the diff cover and bearing caps.
Tried a bit to giggle it out a bit with no luck - i might need the tool to spread the axle a bit ...

I think they welded the diferencial pinion

 

[Wildefalcon]

What did they weld it to? Any photos?

 

[Almiscarado]

So i opened it up and this is what i found. What would I need to do to "unweld" it?
Trying to remove the welds with an angle Grinder is not feasible? I like economical solutions!

 

[marjon]

Cheapest I could find on a quick look.

I would not waste time with those gears, heat from welding will have weakened/damaged the teeth.

Evilbay??

If the PO keeps the business deal/promisse he Will hand me a parts Salisbury diff unwelded, so I might not need to buy new parts depending on condition...

Best you get a hold of the promised stuff ASAP.
Should really have been in a box in the back when he sold it to you, cos we all know what happens to promises once money is handed over and customer gone, sadly.

But that would be nice if it happens.
