Thread: DIFF OIL LEAKS

Back on topic.

I made an L shaped bracket that bolts to the bottom of the flat setion of the diff, and the drive flange.

This stops the whole thing turning, so no need for brakes, chocks etc.
Allows "easier" loosening/tigtening of the pinion nut.

You able to show us Harry what you've made ?

....bottle jack on the breaker bar and the missus with her foot on the break is what I used.

Don't have access to a camera at the moment.
It's in the shed. It's cold, and dark, and I'm not going to get it now!

It's basically a L shaped bracket
From memory it's about 120mm wide.
The bottom is about 100mm, and the vertical section is about 150mm.

It's been a long time since I made this, so these figures are very rough.
I used a piece of cardboard to make a template.

The bottom section has two holes drilled to allow bolts to mount it to the flat section of the diff.
Not sure what these holes are used for on the rear, but on the front, they are for the steering damper.

The vertical section has 4 holes that bolt to the drive flange.
And a large centre hole for access to the pinion nut.
