removing half-shafts from torsen rear end
I am taking the half-shafts off of my torsen differential and want to be
certain that I am doing it correctly. Here is a picture of the assembly, it looks like I need to take the clips off, and I don't see a way to do that without damaging them, so I am assuming that you replace them. Do the two green stub shafts remain attached to the differential? Also, do the half-shafts pull out or are they bolted in? Any instructions or tips would be greatly appreciated. Here is a pic if that helps explain what I am referring to. http://image.inkfrog.com/pix/pat/torsenrearend.jpg Thanks! Pat |

Pry between the final drive case and the cv joint (the green thing) with a flat/crow bar and the axle stub pops out. You may need to rotate the axle a bit and try again if it it is stubborn. When re-fitting the axle, insure the gap in the retaining ring at the end of the axle stub is facing down. |

Luckily, I am selling these parts and will not have to put them back together myself, but I could just see myself screwing up one of the more valuable parts while taking it off of the car. Working on differentials at all is one area that I have had very little experience with until now. I removed one from a 1990 model, but it had open bolts on the halfshafts, iirc. Thanks again, Pat |
