Need to change the diff centre in my 70, but the old one comes off the damn bolts and then doesnt want to budge. It is busted after being welded. Here are some pics.

This is meant to be screwed right in so you cant see the thread, correct? perhaps this be the problem. Tried hitting it around but again it wont budge. I might need to take a grinder to all of it :D

Look how far its off the DAMN BOLTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

glen adam is right, the carrier bearing adjuster you can see in that pic is loose, and needs to be screwed back in before the diff will come out. the bad news is, if the carrier bearing retaining bolts are still tight, those screws are really hard to turn.

did you put it together without the carrier bearing adjuster nut stop tabs?? (the little useless looking steel tabs held on the ends of the bearing retainer caps by weedy little M8 bolts)

I would post a pic but there is no room left on the board for nay more pics.

If the axles were not out the diff wouldnt have come out as far as it did, so keep your dumb ass replies to your self :roll:
