I have a 300TDi 1994. Both axles are in complete working order other than a diff input seal on the front which I'm fixing tomorrow anyway. Both axles have physical damage with the front axle having a massive dent in the diff pan and the rear axle casing peppered with holes. I know I could replace the pan on the front one but I've been offered a pair of casings for £110 so I'm looking at rebuilding them into the new casings after I've had them bead blasted and repainted......
So has anyone got a shopping list of all the parts needed to rebuild them (other than parts I might reject after taking them apart)?
Have I missed anything with this list such as gaskets, seals etc?
Possibly I will remove the actual swivel housing itself from the list as I can't see any damage to it or am I best just doing it anyway......
I'm going to replace the flexible brake hose and then after the Y connector I will make a new solid brake pipe to near the caliber where I want to use a flexible pipe for the final part of the fit. (is this feasible?)
I'm sure I've missed all manner of bearings, seals and gaskets.......
There is a strong possibility that I will just rebuild the rear IF the front is too expensive as it still works fine.
Rear axle
1 x Diff input oil seal [don't need as just bought them]
1 x Diff input bearing pinion
1 x Timken wheel bearing kit
2 x Timken stub axle bearing and seal kit
1 x Disc kit
2 x calipers & pads [don't need as just bought them]
1 x Wading plug axle case breather
1 x Flexible brake pipe
2 x short braided hoses to attach to new rigid hoses
Front axle
1 x Diff input oil seal [don't need as just bought them]
1 x Diff input bearing pinion
1 x Timken wheel bearing kit
1 x Vented disc kit
2 x vented calipers & pads
2 x Swivel kit (FRC7065 - OEM Swivel Housing- 1 ea, 606666 - Swivel Pin Bearing - 2 ea, 571752 - Drive Memebr Gasket- 1 ea, FTC3401 - Swivel Oil Seal - 1 ea, 571755 - Plate - 1 ea, FRC2883 - Shim - 1 ea, FRC2884 - Shim - 1 ea, FRC2885 - Shim - 1 ea, FRC2886 - Shim - 1 ea, FTC3646 - Swivel to Axle Gasket - 1 ea, FTC3648 - Stub Axle Gasket - 1 ea, FTC3276 - Swivel Housing Rear Seal - 1 ea, FTC2882 - Swivel Pin Upper - 1 ea, STC3435S - Swivel Housing One Shot Grease - 1 ea)
1 x Wading plug axle case breather
1 x Flexible brake pipe
2 x short braided hoses to attach to new rigid hoses
*** OR CHEAP OPTION ***
If I buy a REAR axle casing is it possible to:
remove the wheels
remove the current callipers.
remove the half shafts.
remove the rear axle
remove the diff from the rear axle
disconnect the entire assembly of hub/disc/bearings and attach them to the new axle as a single assembly
then add steps 1-5 in reverse?
I can't remember if you have to disassemble everything to disconnect all the rest from the casing......
Then I just weld on a new diff pan to the front.
