Replacing all diff bearings of a Mk1-2-3 twin wheel axle

Postby feuerfrei » Wed Jun 05, 2019 8:00 pm

I've finally found a 4.63 twin wheel axle for my Mk2 LWB but it sounds terrible. It hums and whines so I opened it up today and found all four bearings shot. Really shot. Luckily the crown and pinion are ok but who knows how long the previous van/owner has been riding around with it :mrgreen:

Right away I ordered a revision set that I want to fit the coming weekend. I know all about adjusting and tuning the crown and pinion and the tools needed but I don't know any torque settings for the two pinion bearings.

Does anybody have this information available? Maybe from a Haynes or a Ford workshop manual.

Thanks!
Marcel
