Here's the inside of an ARB for those that are interested
I'm thinking it's lucky that it is this end that has broken because it is simpler, the other end contains all the air gubbins.
Hopefully it can be replaced, might be the same as a later unit or obtainable otherwise, no way of knowing tonight.
Have washed swarf out of diff and stripped everything else down and washed out, all bearings etc are good and will probably reuse
Have been speaking to nige at MS regards pegging and will see what he makes of this latest problem
So far, breakage list is:
Crown wheel and pinion
ARB end plate
Copper air feed pipe to ARB
Gasket and seal kit
It all rides on whether I can get that end plate as to how expensive it will be.
James, glad you popped in
Basically the CWP got lunched yesterday and it happened so quickly and easily I literally had no idea that something could have gone wrong, was on tickover in first but 3x diffs locked
Could it be possible somehow that the diff spigot had sheared already and then that's why it didn't take much to shift it and do the CWP or has this simply broken off from loading up the CWP so much?
Any ideas?
Just nige at MS said to me that of course something could have been already waiting to let go and then the first touch of hard work did the CWP, but I can't see it being drive able with the broken spigot, not for 60 mile up the motorway either!
