Ke70 Diff Removel

[Andy43]

The local pinch a part has got a KE 70 diff with a ratio that I need for my KE30.

I'm going to do a retro fit on it.

How difficult is it to remove a diff drum to drum from a kE70 and what tools do I need ?

Thanks heaps

Andy

not much to it mate

 

-undo brake line between the diff and body (10mm spanners, possibly 14mm....)

-undo tailshaft (4x12mm i think)

-undo shocks (14mm)

-undo panhard rod (17mm?)

-undo the 4 trailing arms of the diff (17mm)

 

use a large screwdriver to wedge out any connections that are being difficult.

 

remove diff!

Big breaker bar

17mm socket

17mm spanner

Ratchet

14mm socket

Think the shock tops are 14mm? Need 2 spanners

Brake line spanner

Pliers

12mm socket and spanner

 

I think I've got it right :P

 

Its easy, although getting the 4 link arms out can be a pain. Best take a nice lever with you, aka a massive screwdriver

 

Edit: Daves keyboard technique and speed is impressive :laff:
