Getting BGC hulks apart for transport
Hi Ryan,
Am I right in that the other side axle, brakes, etc are missing from the diff? My Dad encountered big trouble getting the diff clamp caps off and the axle housing levered away (on his LP2). Also he made a mistake in overhauling the brakes while it was still on the donor carrier thinking it would save him undue handling and have an idea that the diff might be OK before he went to the trouble of removing it. He could no longer screw the brake adjusters right in thru their respective hole in the hull extension plates so that levering the diff back and down would clear the adjuster holes. Not wanting to split the diff which a number of recoverers seem to have done, he pulled the axles and removed the hubs and backing plates again. Anyone else had difficulties getting LP2 diffs off? Do the LP1's have welded on hull extension plates that just unbolt crossways? Also the rear supension units needed considerable effort to get detached even after bolts were removed. Regards Alex

thanks guys
Your experiences and opinions have been very helpful so far everyone. Thanks for responding.
Going to give Corowa a miss this year to make the trip shorter and bring the budget in too. It's bill season in my house at the moment. Ron, I'm not offended by your comments. I reckon it looks like a dog too. But the owner said I could have it for a slab of beer! Thanks Alex Blair for the heads up on rubber and or wooden flooring. Wouldn't want a nasty surprise like that! And yes Alex (cantankrs) the other side of the diff are missing. When I get home I'll post up the other two pics I have. Stripping some of it Martyn sounds like a good idea.

forgot about the sprung load on the wheels, wonder if i could load them up towards the hull. and yes bolts would be used to hold the carrier to the system obviously it would mean drilling the carrier which is never good...
mind guys this is merely a 30 second concept i have conjured up i will work with martyn to see if we can make something safe and viable hahahahaha. cheers Richie
