Default RE: X2 Build Up W/ Pics, 56K Warning, Complete Build Info W/ Detailed Pics

ORIGINAL: qaiz

Ok, finally cleaned up my truck... got a few questions:

(1) what is the easiest way to get the f/r diffs out?
(2) what size shims to I need to "shim the diffs"? I ran out.
(3) is it possible to run the fuel filter backwards? If so, how do I know which way is correct?

Thanks,

Steve

2 -

Size is - 13 x 16 x 0.2 mm

I use 4 overall on the diff, 2 on each side.

Hope this helps..
Thanks quaiz. You are quite the resource!

Three more questions:

(2') Is it possible to shim the differential itself and/or the bevel gear with respect to the f/r bulkheads? I'm getting a little play in the bevel gears... If so, what size shims do I need.

(2'') How do I know if I need to re-build the diffs? Do I simply take them apart, inspect them, and then rebuild them with new fluids?

(4) Any tips on locating body mounting holes on a body that is already painted? Last time, I placed masking tape (painters) on the underside of the body and rubbed the body briskly over the mounts. This gave me the fore/aft locations and worked well, but I was looking for something easier/more foolproof.

Thanks (again)!
