A heap of responses and phone calls but coz 10:30 at night, no-one could be bothered bringing one over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilbo Member 25 Member For: 9y 13d Posted 17/07/15 09:05 AM Author Share Posted 17/07/15 09:05 AM so when you say pop the shaft out the diff is it just a matter of pulling on the shaft? I cant seem to get it out by just pulling it also tried levering it between the cv and diff housing but worried about damaging something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
