last week sometime...

Morning everyone Sorry for the lack of contact, it's been a mental week...

On saturday I took the boys out for a drive in the Scimitar and hit a pot hole snapping the passenger side rear axel couple, that connects to the coil over suspension arm.

Managed to get a friend to pick up kids and limp the car home as luckily not too far from home. Managed to find a replacement 4HA salisbury axel the next day from a gentlemen down the coast, which I picked up on Sunday.

So I've dropped the axel out of the car and opened the dif to find there is an LSD in really good nick so ive decided to transplant it over to the new 4HA. So I need some help and recommendations on the below...

So I need rear diff case gasket,front pinion flange seal; or front prop flange seal and both half 2 shaft seals & may not need those as it looked like they may of been replaced recently. Also it’s got all new brakes on the rear which I’m going to swap over. I may not need to remove the half shaft flanges as I may undo back plate bolts pull the whole lot out in one piece that’s if seals are new


Does anyone have any info on torque settings for rear diff caps on both axels please?

after a bit of deliberating I decided to repair and strengthen the old axel, the car is now back on the road! Im back to the original job of replacing dashboard and dial surrounds.

thank you for your advice..
