diff

Ive needed to change the diff mounts for quite sometime and decided to tackle it yesterday. I disconnected the prop and drive shafts then disconnected the abs sensor, and removed the 3 bolts holding the diff in place. Now Ive got a problem, I can get the mounts out of the sub-frame. Ive...

Just changed the Oil in my diff - put 200ml more in than came out. Fair amount weeping from seals so removed and cleaned breather (100K miles on car). Needed a special tool to remove breather - old 11/16 spanner with a 30 degree bend just before the head :) this means you can get it in and...

Tried to loosen Diff filler plug and drain plugs today to change oil. Neither will budge. Absolutely solid. The 14 mm hex tool I am using is a perfect fit in the drain plugs. An 8mm socket / ring spanner is used to fit on the hex tool. Result, 2 x 8mm 3/8 drive sockets broken under leverage, 1...

Hi All, I had someone change the front seal on my diff a while back, ever since then i have been getting a vibration at over 50MPH. I have been told that tightening the front nut up as tight as possible was not the correct procedure and that it should have been load set? Can anyone...

I have noticed that the pinion seal on the diff on my C250 W202 is leaking so I am gonna replace it, does anyone have the torque setting for the nut? or is it better to mark it and do it back up to the same point? Thanks David
