Looks good!

Put the top relay arm on at 81 Degs.
One spline forwards of 90.
Spot on 81, pic angle puts it more like 83 Deg
The disk, was free with Classic Bike Mag, 30 yrs ago.

Started pulling the front axle apart.
little bits of brass ???? and some small steel bits, think I can see where they came from.
Every thing looks good inside, no broken chipped or scored teeth.
Can get this size feeler gauge between these two bits in the pic. Could find nothing in the manual.
.001 thou run out in the crown wheel,
Pinion to crown has almost no movement. Play mentioned in previous post, must be movement in axle shaft, in the diff splines.
To change the pinion oils seal, is it as easy as books suggest. pull out split pin, undo nut, pull off flange, prise out, oil inner lip of se seal sealant on outside, tap in, reverse to fit ????

Just been looking at the blue pic, which is black oil.

It's a real pain cleaning and painting everything but it pays off when reassembling everything

You can almost put your white lab coat on

NEVER AGAIN.
How many of us say that.
Next, just get road worthy and drive.

What is the purpose of this little bracket, on the RH front Hub.
Nothing on the LH side, nothing like it on my other S3 and 2A.
Thanks.

I'm guessing steering stop thingo seems a lot beefier than the original little tab maybe a good thing

Cheers Paul
