Yep , double checked, I was working from memory.
Right, now got 4 days off , Caravan has gone for it's service, I want to
have the Diff sorted and trailer sorted by the time I'm back at work. Least
then I can run him to and from work for a while prior to setting off for
Malvern with the caravan on.
I'll double check the distance on the bolts I'm using. I won't be cranking
it up thats for sure.
Got to get the bolts on Monday, Today I'll mock up/sort the pinion height,
leave the leather seal to soak overnight in some finest EP90 and then throw
it together tomorrow ready for phase II of throw the spreader together and
slide the diff in. Tueday can be fine tuning... like sort crappy stuff like
split pins stuck in the track rod end & Another set of UJ's as two of the
new ones are showing signs of excessive heat so they aren't right either.
You never know I may even get him going again Tuesday we can live in hope!
