Title: Broken diff
Post by: Mike cox on October 31, 2015, 10:14:17 AM

Hi lim new to this site and am trying to find someone with the skills to rebuild my TJ rear diff. The front bearings have dropped out , I think it is a limited slip diff. I live in Gloucestershire but can post if necessary . It looks like the breather tube got damaged and the oil got emulsified the front bearing then decided to collapse ,all the gears look ok but any help would be appreciated . Even it just putting me in touch with the right person. Many thanks in advance. Mike

well thats a good start   at least you have options a chat costs nothing so if you would still like to call or text that is cool

re yours axle you said the pinion bearing has failed  due to water  you will now need to replace all the bearings not just the failed one   and while its apart think about the lsd  how are the plates ? do you want to upgrade ? and so it goes

I agree with Bubba on this, best change all the bearings especially as water has got in, it's all got to come out to fix the pinion bearing anyhow.
