- The fill plug is seized and I can't really get a good shot at removing it with it in the car (it is blocked by a crossmember).
- I have a polyurethane bushing kit just waiting to be installed. Several bushings can be easily replaced with the diff out of the car.
- I have a new diff mount to install.
Some things I have found while removing the differential:
- A small "clunk" noise that was believed to be caused by a bad differential mount might actually be bad universal joints in the prop shaft. Unfortunately, the u-joints in the prop shaft are staked and not replaceable. This means a new shaft, but the new one will have replaceable joints.
- One of the seals on the diff looks to need replacement.
- Some of the bushings look to be in good shape, but some aren't.
- The differential belt will need to be replaced.
Future posts will detail the work identified above.
