transporting carriers

[cantankrs]

Hi Ryan,

Am I right in that the other side axle, brakes, etc are missing from the diff? My Dad encountered big trouble getting the diff clamp caps off and the axle housing levered away (on his LP2). Also he made a mistake in overhauling the brakes while it was still on the donor carrier thinking it would save him undue handling and have an idea that the diff might be OK before he went to the trouble of removing it. He could no longer screw the brake adjusters right in thru their respective hole in the hull extension plates so that levering the diff back and down would clear the adjuster holes. Not wanting to split the diff which a number of recoverers seem to have done, he pulled the axles and removed the hubs and backing plates again.

Anyone else had difficulties getting LP2 diffs off?
Do the LP1's have welded on hull extension plates that just unbolt crossways?

Also the rear supension units needed considerable effort to get detached even after bolts were removed.

Regards

Alex
