Haynes metro workshop manual covers everything transmission realted in great detail and plenty of pictures. Just treat the four-pin as any other diff.

As long as you can use a torque wrench and a feeler gauge it's easy.

Personally I hate doing it though as the setting the pre-load is always a bit of a guess. But I've never had any problems.

Preloading the diff bearings IS a haphazard ( quote Vizard) job. I've never had any problems with it though. Maybe the preload isn't as "sensitive" as we think??

Hi MiniMole...

I wonder which forum that was - and who the un-named was... I was laffing my ass off when that scientist came and shot him down... Natuarally, the 'un-named' didn't comment on that post anymore!
