I have made a tool that bolts onto the pinion flange and got myself a 1 1/8 inch socket but just can't seem to get the nut loose. Alan '76 Spitfir; /html/spitfires/1999-12/msg00319.html (7,365 bytes)

Re: Diff pinion nut removal (score: 1): Author: Bill Kelly <bk54@erols.com>; Date: Mon, 13 Dec 1999 15:54:57 -0500; I assume you've removed the cotter pin:) Other than that it's purely a matter of applying enough torque. Whoever last put it together, if they did it right, applied around 85 ft. lbs of torque. Figu; /html/spitfires/1999-12/msg00321.html (7,951 bytes)
3. Re: Diff pinion nut removal (score: 1): Author: Alan Lemen <alemen@ftconnect.com>; Date: Mon, 13 Dec 1999 13:08:33 -0800; Bill, I also got email from Tommy Morris on using an impact wrench. BTW as it is a 76, there is no pin that I am aware of or can see. The older models had a castelated nut and a pin, but this one is; /html/spitfires/1999-12/msg00323.html (7,921 bytes)

Thing is I just need to change the one seal so the diff is on the car. The iron piece is done.

On later model 1500's (I don't know at which point they started), the pinion bearing preload is determined by that collapsible spacer.

Re: Diff pinion nut removal (score: 1): Author: Grant Buss <buss3@sympatico.ca>; Date: Mon, 13 Dec 1999 19:27:38 -0500; If it is a '76 you should mark "centre pop" the nut and the shaft so you can get it back in the right position when you put it back together. Also count the number of turns to take the nut off . It i; /html/spitfires/1999-12/msg00330.html (8,384 bytes)
