WIMPUS Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Hi, I had a 4.11 diff of an mk3 spit fully in pieces in my stock. Had a go to set it up and got good results. So now the 3.63 diff that was once in Fox (spit 1500). It made noise etc, got it open this evening. fibre shims are gone on the sunwheels.. 😔 Also pinion and crown wheel has a bit to much play. Seems only mkiv/1500 use fibre ones, mk3 copper/bronze. Now can the early shims fit the 1500 diff ? Dont really thrust those fibre ones. Also bearings, does anyone know all the numbers? A friend of mine could already look at his work if the supplier can get them. Already thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Jones Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 There are quite a few bearing variations over the years so best to check the numbers that on the old bearings (both inner and outer races) and match those. Its possible to replace the collapsible spacer in the pinion bearing pack with a solid one and shims if you prefer. I think you should be able to use the early dished thrust washers on the later diff - if you can find some… Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIMPUS Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 More stripping for bearing numbers. Great fun to get the bearings of the carrier... what a pig of a job that was ! Found more stuff.. Planet gear thrustwashers.. both cracked 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMPUS Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 Seems the planet thrust washers are for a late type. Now.. would the earlier thrust washers fit to ? These they still sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIMPUS Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 Got the new bearings from my local supplier. Sadly once home I spotted a mistake for the carrier bearings. This evening going after the right items. Did install what I could yesterday evening. Freezer does wonders when fitting bearings 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMPUS Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) The mistake of the supplier was sorted. Froze the pinion shaft in. Found a piece of old gas pipe that fitted great to press the bearings on. Carrier bearings installed. More parts arrive today, so this weekend diff fun.
