Hello again,
I keep digging a bigger hole for this car. I might get it on the road this summer. 1972 TR6. I removed the rear differential hoping to just replace the mounts but as suspected the R/H fwd mount is cracked. I ordered the repair kit from TRF. Anyone repaired these with out removing the body?
The differential took about 4 hour to clean up, 35 years a dirt and oil. during the clean up I emptied the diff and there was only about a cup of oil in it. I removed the rear cover and every thing looks good. I ordered seals for the pinion and the inner axle. Here's the problem. I read in the MOSS Part catalog that anytime the pinion nut is removed you have to replace the collapsible spacer if installed. The diff number is CD35417 would indicate that it has the solid spacer. If correct would it be ok to just replace the seal and retorque the pinion nut? Any thoughts on the subject. I checked the Bentley manual and it did not mention this.
