Hey guys - finally got round to having a look at the grumbling front diff and clanking noise - reckon I probably found it:

Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

The N/S shaft bearing is totally shot and most of the oil has leaked out to be replaced by water, hence the gunk. The question I have @123hotchef (or anyone else) is should the inner shaft on the O/S just pull out? (like the N/S shaft?) or am I missing something?

fuck me that got wet somehwere u need extended breathers, 4 bolts then it pulls out

might need a clout there is a snap ring on the end of the shaft

Do ye mean the four bolts holding the diff to the side bracket? Do you take the brackets out with the diff or remove the diff from the brackets first? I've given it hell of a clout with a slide hammer - don't think it was planning on coming out

Er 4 bolts hold the inner c.v joint on

got ya thanks.

I have two front diffs

@mikeinatruck - have you got a 4.636 ratio?

Is it possible to put a locker in a front diff of a K74? I was told if you want a locker in the front , you need to swap your diff with a V6 diff?

depends what kind of locker I have a Aussie Lokka in mine works great

It's already undergeared - would be revving the crap out of it on motorways

You still got that one for sale?

I'm very tempted as I've got it all apart anyhow - if @Antonio has first dibs though no probs - bit pricey thought eh?

I paid £350 so I would like £350 for it I can post it too

My diffs are 4.875 as they were from a double cab. But I have a complete rear axle with diff lock and two front diffs, if you want a front locker you need to find an 8 inch diff from Pajero I believe

the aussie lokka fits into a standard front diff

I had a look at their site yesterday @123hotchef - which model have you got as they don't have the 2.5TD listed - is it the same as for the 2.8L?

i am fooked if i remember now mate i can check the box though

@Heathen it is the MIT-FO-100
7.25 25 SPLINE FRONT LOKKA
