English Diff Rebuild

[RS2000CUSTOM]

During The Welsh Tour 2010 I shot the bearings in my axle

Well finally today I managed to get to Fast Track Bearings for a "rebuild" kit to sort it out.

I have already stripped inspected and rebuilt the LSD unit and set up the pre-load and ramp angles then lock-wired the lot together

Crossflow flywheel bolts ?



Slightly longer...... !

[mk1gaz]

What side gears you running then ? 22 spline (standard) or 16 /17 spline uprated jobs .

You cant go wrong with a bit of extra length

Bog standard shafts and end gears

Have only managed to twist a couple of shafts

Am not into the 0 - 60 or goin down the pod so luckily I have managed to survive with an English

I am eventually going to build an Atlas for it

[mk1gaz]

Mine lasted with standard shafts with no twisting at all (no grip and loads of wheelspin helps , lol) but i uprated them to 16 spline atlas ones just incase and it's been fine . Not keen on Atlas axles , too fooooooookin heavy and expensive , same as driving around with a bag of cement in the boot !!!

Standard casing back from being chemically cleaned





Etch primed



Painted





New pinion bearing fitted



New pinion seal fitted and crush tube on the pinion gear



Setting the pre-load with a proper old skool tool



Not enough pre-load yet - needs to be a bit tighter



More pics to follow

All back in and ready to have a play the weekend

[RS2000CUSTOM]

like the old skool pre load tool, as per manual

The techie guy at Tran-X when I asked his advise on amount of pre-load required said "you will never do it correctly without the right tool" he was impressed when I said I had a pre-load gauge and he wanted the details of the seller because they needed a new one and they cant get anymore - lol

dave, for wiring locking to be effective it is best to come from the 9 or 12 o'clock position of the 1st bolt to either the 6 or 3 oclock position of the next one, thus pulling both bolts into a tightening position so there cant come undone.
dont mean to pish on ya work m8 but i had many of my wirelocking cut by my trainer and told to do it properly many years ago

[Tim]

might need your services soon to do a pinion seal

[Frosticles]

My LSD may need a re-build son.

[lee bishop]

your wire locking is still shonky dave, takes no more time to do it properly LOL
