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 studGot 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
