Which way to put in Large Diff Pin/Block?!?!
Which way to put in Large Diff Pin/Block?!?! After attempting to replace a wheel bearing, I have accepted failure, and am frankly having a fun time putting everything back together. But To remove the axle, I had to unscrew the retaining pin from the diff, and then remove the big pin/block from the center of the diff. Thing is, I don't remember which way it goes back in!!! Either way, the diff still operates, I think it's just for lubrication but I wanna get it right. Can anyone describe how it goes into the diff? If you need a pic to refresh your memory I have one. Thanks a lot!!!
Re: Which way to put in Large Diff Pin/Block?!?! Got it, thanks. It looks like the slot of the block is at the bottom when you put it in(that wasn't the way I was going to put it in 
). What does arrow B point to?
Unfortunatly you didn't send it quite in time so that I could get it back together for tomarrow, but thanks anyways. Gotta get it together and take it to Midas to see if they can replace the bearing, because I sure can't!
Thanks again!!! I owe you one

Re: Which way to put in Large Diff Pin/Block?!?! Actually I sent it about 2 seconds after you asked, then your hotmail account kicked it back (file size?), so I had to dumb it down, resave it and resend it. So, if you had a real email service 
you would have had it in time.
Pay no attention to the arrows, just points of reference...

Re: Which way to put in Large Diff Pin/Block?!?! So, does it matter which way it goes back in?
If I remember correctly when I set up 410s with my torson diff, it will slide in flipped over or not. So I dont think that it matters.
Opinions please.

Verdad Gallardo Re: Which way to put in Large Diff Pin/Block?!?! It has two functions, Holding the axles and C-clips is, and lubrication. The machining in it move oil around inside the diff better. Since the nearly the whole diff is submerged in oil anyways, I don't think it matters.
