It's the big crankshaft locker thing that costs the money. I think this will be the next on my "things to fabricate list" it isn't that complicated (I hope).

The kit I bought was one of the 15 piece ones that someone linked to earlier in the thread. I have used the socket, bar and starter motor trick to get the damper bolt off in the past but I really don't like it, it's all a bit uncontrolled for my liking.

Hi easy1e,

To set up diffs you need to set the pinion height with shims under the bearing to get the correct mesh. All pinions must be setup at a pre determined height within the diff case. I need to machine a block of steel to act as a precise height setting tool to enable me to build up my HD CWPs and modified 4 pin centres properly.

thought so Jai..
ever though about a machined block of correct length,
then using a dial indicator clock to measure from setting block to pinion hight?
this way you see if the nominal "zero" reading off top of setting block, is plus or minus in hight on pinion.

:D

Hi waldershelf,
I made my locking tool from piece of chequer plate cut to an oblong size wide enough to drill the bolting holes going into pully,
long enough to sit squarely ontop of chassis rails.
even found new hi tensile caphead bolts in my old "ex engineers" tool box.
works a treat.

I used small angle grinder and very slim cutting discs bought from a car paint & panel centre, I by them by the box, works out about £1 each disc, but good quality, much better than the thicker steel type cutting discs.
