[Spridgets] Halfshaft Repair, Now - Diff OK?

[Jim Johnson]

Hi Bud,

If I'm not all wet on this, put it up on stands. With the tranny in neutral
you should be able to turn one wheel by hand and watch the other one turn in
the opposite direction. If it doesn't something ain't right in the
diff.....   ;-)

Good luck with it!

Cheers!!
Jim
