Hi all,
How easy is it to change the diff flange on an English axle? Providing that's all that's done is there any special required in terms of
re-setting it once swapped over?
Thanks,
Matt
You can in theory count the turns to undo it then do it back up by the same. Any more or less will alter the pre load on the pinion.
I did mine by counting the number of turns, also marked the nut and end of thread and have had no problems.I did measure both flange thicknesses to
make sure it would be the same.

Thanks for the replies.

It does not, however when I did mine I measured both flanges and found them to be within 2 thou of each other.

How does this theory take into account any tolerance on the width of the splined part of the drive flange?
