With the diff assembly removed for restoration I took the back cover off to see what the inside was like. The
oil came out really clean and there was no sludge or residue buildup anywhere. I suspected that this may have been attended to at some stage.
Since I had gone this far, I figured it would be foolish not to have the diff inspected and serviced. Bearings are being replaced as are the seals which were not just hardened, but more like mummified. Kedron Diffs are conducting the work as they are respected and know their way around Jag Rears. They returned the housing and external parts to me for restoration which will be finished later this week and returned for final assembly.
Rear hubs will be blasted to clean and just a flash coat for surface protection.
Diff housing stripped of parts and internals.
Diff parts before.
