TD4 Diff Bearings

I am going to explore the innards of my diff to see if there is a worn bearing there.

Those who followed my previous posts will know of my attempts to get rid of a wobble on acceleration. This is my new direction having changed just about everything else.

So how difficult to open it up and change any bearings that might have worn?

Cheers

you'll need a 3 leg puller to get the bearings off and a press or heavy vice to get them back on again.
not difficult to do but read up on it first.

Freelaner thanks for this. I have done most things but never a diff so any help and advice is welcomed. I have a 3 leg puller and a very heavy vice but also access to a press.

Yep I will if I do it - I need some time and good weather first - also got to wait for builders to finish work around my house. Gathering info first.

Can I check for wear without stripping it down?
