So I pulled the Diff centre out today and it stamped LS37:9. So it is a 4.1 and the back is 4.3 so definitely wrong centre. Other diff centre will be here tomorrow so hopefully will go in tomorrow without too much hassle.
If I have a new gasket do you need to use anything else (Sealer) or use the new gasket by itself?
Any other tricks or should do's to put in?
Cheers
my 4.3 is 35.8 so i think yours is 4.1 if its says 37.9
Yeah, it will be good to get fixed up. Hope to have done by 3pm to shoot off with the wifey and kids for the weekend. I have never put a diff in before though. Tips?
I would use some gasket sealer, probably be O.K. without just personal choice.
Depending on the condition might be worth getting a swivel hub kit and doing these seals too and wheel bearings depending on condition. This will obviously add up the $$$ but font end will be like new.
What a dodgey bloke. . . Hope he gets his carma coming to him. . . Good luck.
Is there any way to make the seller pay for the broken hub and diff?
No chance. Too long ago. Bought it just over a year ago and it has been a bit dodgy but did the swivel hubs, bearings etc and the front end was heaps tighter but it highlighted the diff issue.
I would use the sealant too, as you dont want to have to pull it apart twice if you can help it....
Put the new diff in today. Like a new truck. I can't believe how bad it was in 4wd before.
