Right, alloy diff went south for the winter as I knew it would, now I need to get the 5.12's swapped from it into the steel one. Anyone know someone that they can refer me to to get that done? I got the original ones from the steelie pressed out at a place just behind archerfield airport but it was dear as poison. I'm hoping to get it done for around $40 or so but am i just being a cheap bastard?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Red

$40

good luck

how much did they charge you to remove the one from the GV diff, expect to pay a lot more than that....

Cost me 60 but I thought that was a relative pricing thing. It seemed like a lot for just pressing out the pinion gear. Probably should go back to those guys then

What is the usual?

setting up a diff isn't something to be taken lightly, considering ARB charge $330+ just to fit a locker without removing the pinion.

seeing you need the pinion fitted to the steel carrier, pinion depth set, then getting a good meshing pattern can take a while, then they need to set the backlash, new bearings would be the smart thing to do while its apart, i'd be budgeting alot more that $60... :wink:

shit. Oh well, may as well pay to get it done properly. Back to original question of who to do it... thanks for the info though Gus.

my diff was done by a "diff specialist" & it was over $500 to build the steel diff up with the 5.12's with new bearings, seals & fit the locker.

EDIT: & the bloody thing still failed :twisted:
