Diff bearing replacement   2014-01-09 12:48:00 <Hunt M> Hey all My diff (4.1 Torsen) is making bad bearing noises so time to take it out and throw some bearings and spacers etc at it. Going off this it doesn't seem too difficult: http://www.supracentral.com/foundation/tsrm/rear-axle-and-suspension/ Other than the front and rear pinion bearings, both side bearings and the 3 oil seals - what other serviceable parts should I be replacing? Is that front spacer reusable? It looks like a crush spacer? Cheers Hunt (html version)

Re: Diff bearing replacement   2014-01-09 12:53:00 <Llewellyn Giles> It's a crush spacer. I would take it to someone who does it as a job to make sure all the measurements are right (and I have done it myself a few times). Egan at Dr Trans built mine and it was not expensive (he got the bearings cheaper than I could too).

Re: Diff bearing replacement   2014-01-09 13:00:00 <Llewellyn Giles> Can't remember - Just remember I was not surprised and it was cheaper than I could get from Auckland Bearings.

Re: Diff bearing replacement   2014-01-09 13:27:00 <Hunt M> Ok cool I'll probably have to wait until after honeymoon and get it done end of Feb - misses might not appreciate being left in NZ while I enjoy my honeymoon with my newly rebuilt diff haha But at least I know where to get it done now - cheers.
