mazfg Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Nut should be tightened to 70 lbs/ft from my reading of the workshop manual. It should already be pre-loaded from before so no need to set that up. Just tighten to 70 lbs/ ft is my understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glang Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 just to check: this procedure is for the early type diff which your herald should have and is identified by having a castellated nut/split pin arrangement.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 And to add you should lock the coupling , to apply the torque , not wind up the transmissionlike two bolts thro the coupling holes and a bar between them.pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilriser Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 Many thanks guys yes it is the diff with the mentioned nut and split pin,when i released the nut i clamped the square coupling plate with a large wrench which was clamped in a vice [ 70 lbs is some torque to release]i will just repeat the proceedure when doing up.Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
