    This pic shows the gear contact pattern with bearing blue.
    Every thing looks fine.
    Factory backlash specs are 6 to 11 thou and mine are 5 thou,,,,good enough.

    Bearing caps centre popped marked and bolts evenly removed and then caps removed.
    Found a old pillow and rag to drop the diff centre on.

    My home made diff housing spreader will not fit as the drivers side spring is in the way.
    The proffessional spreaders will not fit too.
    I am going to have make some thing up to suit or drop the spring off.

    Purchased today a small air pressure reg for 27 dollars which should work the air locker OK.
    Purchased new axle tube seals too.

    Ron, Great pics and writeup, however you are the first person I have seen who actually bothers with a spreader.

    I (and many others) just use a couple of tyre levers or a small crowbar to remove (only gentle pressure is usually needed), and a leather/plastic hammer to refit.

    The reason I am worrying about the spreader is the fact the ARB locker may have to go in and out of the diff a few times to check the settings for the bearings and crown wheel.
    One of the bearing caps have to be measured for drilling with the locker in place and then removed.....etc.

    I found very little scrap steel at work today.
    I did find plenty of wire and gas in the MIG.
    Found a large piece of brooker rod and nuts to suit.
    So I reworked my original diff spreader.
    I moved the pin for the drivers side of the diff spreader so it clears the spring.

    I dont have to use a old jack to work the spreader, the brooker rod and nuts work OK

    I turned up on the lathe a alloy disc to help remove and refit the diff centre bearings.
    A two legged puller is supposed to be used to remove the bearings.
    I found the cut away in the original diff centre to allow the use of a two legged puller would not fit any two legged pullers I had.
    So I used a bearing spreader and hydraulic puller.
