Re: Differential rebuild procedures (Jim-K)

Re: Differential rebuild procedures (gtr1999)
Great job Gary, I printed it out, and will be very helpful.
Now for a question. I have the diff out of the car mostly because I'm doing a complete rear end rebuild with Van Steel trailing arm assemblies, new spring, new everything, body mounts, painting frame, new rotors and VBP O-ring calipers, etc.
The rear end, prior to disassembly seemed perfect, no noise or roughness of any kind. The only thing I had a concern about was it had a small drip at the pinion seal. My plan was to pull the yoke and replace the seal, but because the diff seemed fine, was not going to do anything but the seal, except, of course clean it all up prior to re - install.
Your "procedure" post on rebuild seems straight forward, and I'm confident I could handle it. But should I "mess with something that's not broke?"
Then, there's always the concept, while you have it that far apart, why not rebuild it NOW.
What do you, or any other forum guru's think?
Thanks, Bill

Re: Differential rebuild procedures (gtr1999)
Gary,not sure if anyone can do it here,but I will keep that measurement in mind when I remove the diff.
Thanks Neil.
Thanks Neil.
Neil, I use the rebuilt yokes with the hardened tips. They run about $65 each with your core. Can you get them down under or do youhave to get them from the states? Maybe you have a shop that can rebuild them? From the end of the yoke to the snap ring groove is .187".
