Differential Assembly Part 2

First pic is the spring eye on the anvil with the new bushing pressed in and the old one beside it.

  The bushings in the housings were really rusted in place and required heat from the torch to loosen them.  

After cooling they were driven out with the new tool.

  

   Next is a pic of the old bushing and housing seals.  

Then a pic of the new seal on an installation tool waiting to be driven into the housing. 

  Then a pic of the new bushing pressed into the housing and a pic of the new bushing and seal installation tool. 

Next is a pic of the right trumpet bolted to the banjo with the carrier housing and ring gear installed.  Then the left trumpet is bolted to the assembly to check the preload on the carrier assembly.  With no gaskets and all bolts torqued to specs it should have locked up the carrier, however it was too loose with the new carrier in the old housing so I will now have to remove the carrier bearings and add shims behind them to get the correct carrier preload before we can set the lash for the gears.  Getting closer, so stay tuned!
