Triumph spitfire differential bushings

That crazy differential has really taken me a lot of time. Of course now I have done I could probably do  all of it in a few hours, but when it's the first time...

These bushing are solidly in there and the problem is that the surface is not flat to push and kind of awkward to access. So I had to remove the plastic part, make a cut on it and push it through.

Read about setting it on fire, but much easier if you have one of these round saw things


Nothing a hammer can't fix


Asked for assistance from the chief mechanic



And it comes out


Difficult to push them back in because the really have to be forced in there but they need to go in straight. Trick stolen from wheeler dealers, worked great to get it started aligned.


Finish on the press et voila !
