Most valuable tools for diff housing swap?
Most valuable tools for diff housing swap?
Hey guys,
I've finally got a new diff housing for the GQ and have discovered that I'll need to do the swap alone... What tools do I need/do you recommend I'll need to get this done with minimal pain?
Cheers
Edit: Neglected to mention that the housing already has a centre and axels, it just needs to be bolted on.

car stands x 2 sets one for the patrol one set for the diff
small spanners for brake lines

rattle gun, and if doing a full diff swap, a hydraulic jack with a nice big head on it to sit the diff on and lift up and pull around into place

Should be able to do the rattlegun, I have bits and pieces in the shed I havn't explored yet, theres probably one there...
Got car stands and spanners, I think the only thing I lack is a decent jack, thanks guys I'll check it all out.

You finished yet, sick of seeing your 2wd Nissan in the carpark. May as well buy a sedan.

I've actually come up with a better solution though... after FINALLY figuring out what the issue was, I think I'll use the new diff bits to rebuild the hubs... My brother in law finally admitted the other day to assembling the wrong when he replaced the bearings for me (knew I should have done them myself)
So anyway... Think I'll be working on it this weekend.[/i]
