M8 restoration
Hi Terry
Thanks for the reply and the offer. Yes, more than enough work in this project to keep me busy!
The axles should be the same as Ford truck diffs. I've attached a few pictures from the manual.
I'm thinking that a new approach as per Lynn's suggestion might be in order, but I'm not sure how to best tackle it. Considering I can't take the yoke off first, what is the best way of trying to get access to the sleeve and the bearing cups? With the yoke still attached, there is only about 5mm clearance between the oil seal retainer and the pinion gear sleeve.
Could I somehow ease that pinion sleeve out of the housing?
