Hello Diane:
There is very little that the weekend warrior / do-it-yourself types can do
with a differential, unless you have lots of specialized tools and guages.
I don't remember your previous posts... what is wrong with yours?
Those of you who rebuild them by yourselves: Check your factory manuals
before flaming me!
