If that's the case, then you just pull the halfshafts, undo the ring of bolts and the complete crownwheel, pinion, diff and carrier bearings drop out in one piece, they are all fastened to the "nose" casting, easy. This means you could easily fit a complete second hand assembly without having to dismantle the diff itself. No where near as heavy as a complete axle, so cheap carriage. Perhaps someone could confirm if i'm right.
Many thanks, I was hoping so and thanks for confirming.
