Hi all, those who remember my message a few days ago about bad noises coming form the back of my car will remember I thought it was coming from the diff. Well, I jacked the car up, drained the diff and out popped a couple of nice chunks of steel :-(
So, with the enthusiasts manual and a can of CRC in hand I set to in removing the diff, the manual reckoned that you didn't need to remove the PPF to get the diff out.. well, the manual is plain wrong. I jigled and poked and levered and pushed that diff all I could but nothing was going to seperate it from the PPF, so I thought, I'll remove the whole PPF, I remoe the front bolts, the wiring loom, and I jiggle and poke and lever and push and NOTHING could seperate the diff from the PPF. So bugger it I just extracted the diff with the frame still attached.
Even with the whole assembly out I can't figure out how to extract the diff from the frame, I've removed the appropriate bolts, removed the collar from the front bolt hole, but there still seems to be something holding it.
I'm stuck. Help!
And if anybody in NZ has a diff for a '91 going cheap please email.
