Tr2 and early tr3 differential. I finally got the oil seal out of the diff in pieces. Part of me wants to remove the diff section to clean the inside of the diff case, but I have never removed the pumpkin/diff before, so not sure what to expect, or if I should remove the diff gears at all. the pumpkin looks straight forward- kinda- to remove There are 3 bearings inside that I have not bought yet, and they are about 300.00 bucks total. Perhaps I should remove the diff to inspect them. i do not know.
The collar of the original carrier bearing hub was cut and pitted. I had another collar but the inside of this one is damaged. it must have been loose and moving around to get the cuts inside where the splines are.
The other two outer axle wheels hubs are pitted and cut on the outside. I am wondering if I took some solder and filled in the cuts and pits and then sanded the hub smooth if that might seal the hub and work. New parts are NA, so maybe the speedy sleeves might work best if I can find them.
Anyone have any thoughts on that?
