Hammerited rear diff

AlexD333 · 30-03-2014, 20:32

Time was cut fine but managed to clean sand and slap on some paint.

Again.

I hope you didn't work on it while it was only on the jack.

I always have a minimum of two things that will support the truck under any circumstance, if I use axle stands when I take a wheel off, I put the wheel under the chassis, and make up the gap with thick timber.
I always assume that an axle stand could collapse, or the vehicle could slide off ( due to all the waxoyl lol

) if I am getting a bit physical with the socket set.

My uncle once warned me about steel welded ramps, I was young at the time, he said they could crack at anytime. So that made me cautious.

Nissan were fitting these diff's in the US before we got them & they seem to hold up ok

I was gutted to find I had a plastic tank guard on mine

not sure how easy they are to change but would rather have a steel one fitted even tho I managed to bend one badly & dent my tank when laning in the Lakes

got no proof of this myself so not going to preach it like its gospel but I've heard that they are a lot weaker than the older ones.

I've read a few members posts on here wherby they've gone out to but a Terrano and left it because it had the later rear diff
