spider gears
Open diff or locker ..vitara guy wrote:i have enuff tools to open a work shop yes about 4 rattle guns
grown up working on motor bikes and car engins but sadly not diffs
If it is an open diff I would simply swap in another centre.
Unless you know how to set the diff gears back up .. by yourself is not an ideal way to learn.
That said I would think it quite unusual to bust a spider/side gear in a zuk diff .. usually axles go well before side gears ( is not completely unheard of though)
