Thanks for this, job for me tomorrow. Why did you remove the brake callipers, surely just letting the handbrake off would of done no?
I followed the Haynes manual that details a preload set up on the differential nut.
. In order to do that the differential had to be able to turn freely. I in the end just tightened the nut to its original position.
@@ratchetman3606 Thank you for your reply, can you remember what size socket needed to remove the pinion nut is please?
@@ratchetman3606 Was waiting for you're reply, will have a go on Wednesday and let you know dude! Thank you!
The crucial bit missing here that I discovered later when looking at the Haynes manual was measuring the amount of preload and torque required to remove the pinion nut.
Yeah correct - to tighten the pinion nut in increments - was why I initially took off the break calipers, following the manual.
