Hi all, me again, when I was removing the diff I was careful to mark the relative positions of the flanges on the propshaft and half shafts so that they could be returned to the correct positions when the diff went back in. I understand if they were not then they would end up unbalanced and that would be ungood.
It looks like I can get an entire used replacement diff ok for a 3 or 4 hundred $ (NZ $ that is), but my question is, I obviously can't align the shafts to the diff in the same way because they have never been connected togethor before.
I can't find any mention of this in the books or on the web, so maybe it's not an issue, or do I have to get the shafts rebalanced or something after I install it all?. Perhaps I have to replace an entire "set" of diff, propshaft and the half shafts at once (that sounds decidedly expensive)? Or can I get the flanges removed from the old broken diff and put onto the new diff so the mating can be aligned correctly again ?
Whats the usual process for that?
