Fred Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 tony you will have to remove the rear axle three bolts to do the job right . fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony J Posted October 24, 2002 Author Share Posted October 24, 2002 Fred Do you mean just the three diff bolts ! will this give me enough space to slide the prop into the tunnel. cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 you may want to try just the two at the bottom and see if it will swing up on the top bolt fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 I had the same problem when rebuilding mine, we were doing it as a group and the diff got installed even though we knew it shouldn't go in yet etc etc etc. Anyway, you have to take the diff out as the flange on the propshaft is too big for you to thread it in (from either top, bottom or end) HOOPY Membership Number 4136 R706KGU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnusfeuer Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 I managed to get the prop shaft in from the top, flange and all, on my SV. It must be wider in the middle. /Magnus F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 I think the SV is a bit wider there - I sure I remember comapring with Miraz's car at the time. HOOPY Membership Number 4136 R706KGU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
