Friends are friends, but when it comes to business everyone is a customer

 

I just ordered the new diff from Rover Guy. What else will I need to make a successful replacement? Any new seals or kits I need to buy? And where can I get them? Links please? I remember vaguely something about the pinion and pinion seals or something? Or am I really off?

 

Read back through your two threads.

 

Wait on ordering any parts until you can visually inspect the 3 sets of bearings on the used 3rd. member. Other the that maybe a new pinion seal may need to be replaced.

 

AntiChrist do you still have that pinion seal and nylock nut for $20?

(what is the nylock nut for?)

EDIT:
Looked on british pacific I just need one of each right?
Pinion Seal - $6.00
Nylock Nut - $2.00

 

You should really download the RAVE manual and read the relevant sections. Many of your questions are answered there.

 

I already have, and I have/am tried/trying to read the section involving the disassembly. But the thing is I get confused about what it is talking about. Since I can't visually see the part(s) in front of me and feel it, I have no idea what the drive flange or the slip pin is, and it talks about not installing the oil seal because of pre-load and things like that..

1. So what I was thinking of asking what I need
2. Having everything (53mm/2 2/16" socket, new lock nuts, wheel bearings, grease, lock washers, diff, oil seals and gaskets, etc)
3. Taking it apart using the RAVE so I could actually see what it was talking about, and knowing I did the job right because I used all my parts.

 

The front axle section has an exploded view with a key labeling everything. You may need to refer to that while reading the text.

 

Have you tried printing out all the relevant sections. I find that is easier than going from screen to screen. You can use it a printed guide while you are
doing something, mark it up with wrench sizes, check it off as you go and so forth.

That is what I have done on several of the involved tasks. Try it, you may like it.

 

That's exactly what I am doing now hahahah
2 2/16" Socket for Lock Nuts
13mm 12pt socket for brake calipers
etc..
