I will try that, seems feasible, cheers PeteCould be the nut on the pinion is slack remove propshaft and check the nut on diff. Diff has two tapered bearings if the nuts loose they will not be preloaded.
you havent left the spacer that fits before flange outOk changed diff and fitted a new pinion oil seal but when I tightened the castleated nut it locked up, I contacted d l s and they told me there are two types of oil seal, so they sent me the other one which seemed a bit more robust than the Brit part one, but still locks up when tightened, according to manual is 85 , if I loosen off it frees, any idea,s.
take flange off and look down in to the diff is there a spacer or just the taper bearingThanks for that mate, doesn’t,t really help,the diff was a good spare I had, only thing I did was put a new oil seal in and now it locks up when I tighten the castle nut,
if your flange looks like thisI have looked down and it looks like a bearing I can read sk on the front, but think I have cracked it, when looking down when flange is in place it’s not quite down flush with end of pinion shaft, I got a spring washer about 2 mill thick that sits in the orifice, and managed to tighten the castle nut up, and seems ok no play anywhere, I will give it a run tomorrow,
