Ive asked a company for a price on fitting my minispares X pin diff. he said with all the gasket/ seals, £120. but he said ill need the bearings and shimmies. this true, ? and is that a good price.
I could give it a try, but i really havnt even done stuff on a gearbox before, so i wouldn't want to be messing it up .
Cheers..

Hi,
Always best to put new bearings in unless you know the ones in there are fairly new/ in good condition. You may or may not need the shims depending on how things add up when you install the new diff.

good idea to use new bearings and the shimming needs doing to get the preload correct on the diff.

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

i charge that for a full rebuild , but you are looking at about 2 hours work max to do this job, but could be done quicker depending if diff is ready built, or the new diff comes aprt easy for a build as some are bloody pains to get the lock pin out.

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo


These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.
