Lokka

Tip drop the X member the diff sits on, problem is two bolts cannot be removed so Mr angle grinder cuts them off and two new bolts fit from other way, I will supply two bolts, Rick

Ah nice one Rick, thank you, I appreciate that :bow:thumb2

:stopbeing:

Shhhhhhhh, I love people to struggle with that one :lol :lol

Did ye use a spanner to tighten the new bolt, or just finger tightened it:lol

Zip ties,duct tape and a bit old chewing gum I found on the floor:thumb2

Hi all, so I've had a look under the truck today to see what I'm dealing with and it looks an ok job to swap the diffs round, I have some questions though

Does it really help a lot to take that crossmember out?, the one that Rick mentioned earlier!
Would it help if I put it in 4wd, I'm guessing it will keep things still-ish for undoing the bolts.

Thanks guys

I'd like to say thanks to Rick for the LOKKA, I've cleaned, painted it, changed the oil and of course I could not resist a quick peek inside at the magic :lol:lol

Thanks Rick :thumbs:thumbs

I have dropped a lot of front diffs in the past and always struggled with the X member in but after the first time I dropped it out would always do so it is much easier getting it back in and lining up,Rick

Just "dropped" the Pearl's lokka , again We were taking the engine out. Didn't bother cutting bolts off the cross member or taking it off, just jack up the engine 1 cm and it'll fall out :lol

Thought you'd sold it?

Yes I did but the engine went on the wonky. I'll start a thread on that for your entertainment later on
