Diffs came in this evening and the rear is installed and ready to go
Front will be done in the AM if I can figure out what is going on with the new one
The diff was removed and the long side housing was removed to put on the new center section
The problem is The clamshell has a male gear and shaft in the long side that looks like needs to come out to put in the new clamshell to mate with the female gear in the long side housing
There was some type of retaining ring over the male gear that came out fairly easy. The shaft/gear doesn't want to come out. Does it just take some more force or what?
here are some pics
Old clamshell with retaining ring, gear and shaft
New clamshell It needs those gears
Long side shaft that mates with the male gear/shaft
Does anyone have experience on how to remove that gear/shaft to put in the new clamshell ?
thanks
Don
