Subject: Re: Identifying cause of play in Axle Half shaft
I am due to have the diff cage on my M45 changed and it seems as though knocking the front pins out of the springs and swinging it down is the best way. It looks like a horrible job and will get it done for me by a local axle specialist.
I fear that pulling the diff cage is probably more effective than taking the other cover off but either way, it's not something that I would enjoy doing myself.
