Default Rather good diff setup video

If you are dull like me and have a spare 30 mins...

Shows how much of a PITA fitting gears can be!

Also interesting to hear the 2 different methods of machining a pinion and how you would ahve to check backlash accordingly.

Crush sleeve is quite a cool idea too. I think Js racing sell them. Takes out all the shim hassle for setting pinion bearing preload.

He does a good job of explaining something that i'd bet quite a few people thought they knew more about than they really did!

amazing...
not one mention of the word "pumpkin". seems to be a common term on yank boards refering to the entire diff. god knows whats wrong with the term "housing", or "diff unit".

anyway - good video. i knew alot of it by theory only, and is one of the few things i never got chance todo during my mechanic days.

The J's 'distance collar' still reqires a shim to be used.
