Thread: SALS diff flange repair

Is this a pinion flange?

if so, and you're replacing it because the seal surface of the flange is buggered, you can get a speedy sleeve fitted for $30 at a good auto engineering shop, and a seal for around $20 from FWD Motors etc.

Fitting needs a big spanner and some smaller spanners, and a screw driver maybe.

Dunno about the mudshield though.

oh, wel i will takr it apart this weekend and see if i need new bearing and stuff..














Hmmm mabey ill just go visit Graeme cooper...

So what exactly is the problem with the diff?

pinion nut is 1 and 1/8.
on a disco iit is anyway.

the diff is dripping oil at the prop shaft, and i think it is vibratingwhen at low speeds

Then yes, order the seal ( just checked cos I need one and FWD Motors have them for $7.48 ) and line up a work shop to do a speedie sleeve just incase the surface is stuffed.

You can replace the outer bearing if its stuffed but the inner one ( AFAIK) needs the diff center removed to get at it - thats a job for a diff shop.

If the pinion is simply a bit loose, then replace the seal and re-tighten the nut flange nut till the movement just disappears.

Manuals for this are online somewhere [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]
