GU front diff housing
Posted: Fri Jun 03, 2022 2:52 am
Back in 2013 i had a diff housing braced and in 2018 i reco'd it and fitted it... we continue >>>>>
5 years ago i had a brace kit fitted to a spare front diff so its about time i fitted it to MissRed.
first up was to replace the kingpin bearings and cups... i damaged the seals getting them out but as i didn't have new ones i refitted them after bending them back into shape.
all cleaned up ready to replace
they don't seal up completely anyway so should be ok
new cups in place
getting the old bearings off the caps was a real bugger ... tried all sorts of things but ended up grinding through as close as i dared then breaking them with a cold chisel
