Wow you had to beat it apart! I made a spreader tool from some drawings in
the Standard parts Diff repair manual. Worked like charm. I did not have all
the fancy dial calipers to do the gear mesh so I just used machinist blue
ink to set the lash. Again with a couple of tries it worked like a charm and
the Quaiffe has worked flawlessly in my Gt-6.
