Gearboxes are something I rarely delve into.

You surprise me Carl, I thought you of all people would have been doing your own boxes a long time ago, but there you go, they arent hard now you know.
I seriously doubt it! |

I'll definately be seeking advice before I try stripping and rebuilding a gearbox again, my first attempt 2 years ago resulted in its catapluting across the garage and breaking a corner off the casing! On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:

Regards Dave have you ever taken one to pieces dave,i certainly wouldnt try altering the preload as the amount to remove if loosening would be in thous, [this i know as ive altered preload on the shimmed up lincoln diff in the past,and it dosn't take much. as it happens the last time i measured it was 3 or so years back and it came in at circa 70lbs. Stevie, this is a JK dog box so no silly balls and springs ,. a lot less to go wrong but the same in principle. Paul, iv'e never bothered with them in the past because my gearbox man only charged £50 a go to freshen up,so was not worth learning for that kind of money, but now i'm sick of stripped threads ,plus they broke an lsd crown wheel trying to force it over the quaife diff last time one was in there, they are great lads and all that but they just insist on the windy gun and its just too rough ,iv'e helicoiled every thread on both side covers on one box alone , carl |
