Thread: ARB DIFF LOCK

After studying what is required to fit the locker in a 101 ,I wonder if to go ahead with the rest of this thread.
Setting up a diff is a specialised job and takes knowlege and experience.
The fact is many motor mechanics cannot set up diffs correctly and I now can see why many people have trouble with leaking air lockers .
One slight stuff up and you will get problems.
diff set ups is for the people who have the correct experience and back ground.
If you dont meet these requirements , go and get the diff set up by a diif specialist mechanic.
Fitting of a Detroit locker is easy to what is comming in the next steps.
You must also have the correct gear.
I am not perfect either...I have never fitted a ARB air locker before.....so I am open to revision.
Be warned!!!!!!!

So Ron are you going to give it a go? and put it up as a tutorial for the rest of us too follow?

Good work so far

Garry

I am going to do it.
I am just saying its not a backyard job for part time mechanics.
I have my defender running again so I might drop the diff centre tomorrow or aleast get the brakes apart.

G day ron

The preivous owner of my 101 must have liked the wheel bearings on the loose side as I have had to tighten them up and I have been getting leaking hub oil seals like this on the other hubs.
