    There was a bloke a while back here in Oz, Harris hardcase. Not sure if it might work for you? Not sure if he's even still operating but I know a fair few guys here have them

    Thanks for that but I'm really looking for an alternative diff lock actuator thingy. The diff case I showed is ordered but not sure yet how I'll manage the diff lock ??

    Hi Bill, yes I looked but my wallet is bleeding as it is
    Keeping the stock locker for now and will think about replacement only after I break it.
    I've found a few alternatives now and might still customise my own. Watch this space

    Axle woes.

    I've had a busy week with life n work but did manage a few hours of axle prep.
    First off I did a ratio check. I bought these Y61 axles years ago and was told they were off a 2.8 So 2 turns at the hub and 4.6 ish at the pinion. I hoped they would be as advertised 4.65 :1 ratio ?? Well it turns out they are , yay.
    After another lot of WD40 and much grunting, I eventually got the half shafts out

    Problems arrived big style on the diff case though ! Very first nut I went for sheared the bloody stud Got a few more off but lost four in total.
    Then I just couldn't bash the diff off the axle. Just how hard can I hit it do you know ?

    Any top tips to get the diff off ? I've got access to some serious heat, and big hammers !!
    For now I've left the studs soaking in WD40
    Onwards

    Looks like someone used some serious sealant when they put it together. Heat may help to break the bond.

    Awesome build Makeitfit Mate!
    As Bill kindly mentions, mild heat should break the seal/bond surely.
    Extra assistance could be achieved via two pieces of steel, say angle iron, either side of your pinion with ‘all thread rods’ back to your housing. Much like a gear pulling homemade mechanism with Bill’s heat applied around the seam whilst tensioning.
    FWIW: ‘Penetrene’ shits all over WD40 for loosening rusty gold, albeit I too don’t believe this is your current issue now that all the bolts/nuts are gone mate.
