Subject: Re: Identifying cause of play in Axle Half shaft
Here is an update...differential came out fairy easily once half shafts extracted. It was a tight squeeze without the springs dropped down due to the battery boxes.
Then the problems started to become evident. The crown wheel and pinion mesh had not been set up properly resulting in a wear step in the teeth. The pinion teeth were chipped and there was significant wear in the planet gears...which is the main reason for the play at the wheel which started this thread in the first place!
Anyone have a serviceable 10x42 light axle differential for sale?
