Swapping Diff Centres

Post by greenfourby »

I need to take out my locked rear diff to get the air locker fixed, I have a centre from a 60 series.

Will it fit ??

Ratio's may be different but this is only to run on the road so front will not be connected.

Any advice would be appreciated

Cheers

thats in your 40 isnt it??

you shoulda made a cash offer on the centre out of the housing that was under jeremys buggy before.

if your still running 40 diffs, the flanges might be different.

im sure 83lux will share some wizdom...

into your 40? yes it will bolt in and the axle splines are the same. the pinion flange on the diff may be a different bolt pattern, but I THINK the PCD is the same so you might get 2 bolts in which is sufficient for tooling around town - otherwise it's not hard to drill the flange to suit. once again 2 holes will do.

HOWEVER if your 40 rear end is full floating then I would just make up a dodgy plywood cover plate for where the diff came out, and stick some rags in the holes in the ends, and drive it on the front diff. saves you fitting and pulling diffs out too many times.

Thanks All

Front diff is stuffed too (I Think) so I will try the rear replacement for now
