The bolt that has like splines all around it; what the hell do you do that up with without stripping it further
Situation:
Broke axles, got new ones, peice was left in diff, just removed diff to clean before fitting new axles and that bolt was completely undone
Don't know if that can cause damage
Need to finish this before lunch as i am towing a boat to the coast to go nab some tailor with some mates

Well I don't have a car today so I can't help - but I have had a few apart.
You need to be real careful - swap 2 identical parts and you will need to pay a professional a few hundred dollars to reset your diff.
I can't tell much about the bolt from that pic though - any chance of another pic of the whole thing so I can see whre you are?

it holds the "locker" together !
it is just a twin hex bolt , a normal spanner or socket should fit it ,
they also have a little locking tab on them as well !!
no. 11 & 12

you can get a socket that fits it my mechanic has a set they have more groves in them,
Sorry i cant be more specific.

Just rang ARB and they said the same thing; is it just like a spring washer
and apparently a double hex socket will fit
Seems pointless now since i just noticed that some of the teeth on the crown wheel (big gear?) are broken
Anyone know if you can get stronger gear sets
maybe chromoly or something
Might just have to get it completely overhauled
Who is good on southside to do this work
Looks like i will be borrowing dads ute for fishing. thanks for the help so far too guys

any multi hex socket or spanner will fit that bolt. no special tools needed
