Doing my rear diff. two x studs have sheered off with the nuts on them.this was from the half shafts.
nowhere sells them as you'd expect.
anybody got any lying about?
i can collect if your near enough.....bit knackered as i need my car for monday.....

any help appreciated.

kind regards

steve

Sorted.....filed a groove into the stud...enough for a flathead screwdriver.....a good soak in a bath of wd40 and 2 hours later...screw the stud out of the nut. sorted.
diff now replaced and quiet as anything.
boy was my old diff knackered. the propshaft flange could hardly be turned at all....
still....sorted now.
phew.

Steve - what are you doing with your old diff?

If you are ditching it then I'd like first refusal for the sake of investigation/knowledge purposes!

Thanks Karl.
It was a family affair with myself, my dad, uncle and cousin (he's a lex vauxhall master technician but knows his stuff) all helping out....we all did our bit here and there......and as it was family...free of charge.
Nice fish n chip dinner and a beer to celebrate a good days work.
getting the nuts n bolts undone was the hardest bit... otherwsie it was really straight forward.

By all means Kris you are welcome to my old diff . It does turn alright but the bearings are grinding together so a repair is needed.
Not sure how I can get it to you....it weighs loads as you prolly know...
Steve

Kris....sorry mate but my Dad has said he wants to rebuild the diff so we're going to keep hold of it for now.
When he comes to rebuild it I'll deffo get a photo 'How to ' guide done....this could be beneficial to many people across the OC's.
Steve

Steve - no problem, hope it can be repaired

Lots of pics would be great, and a "How To..." guide would be even better
