Hi all,
Has anybody else had trouble getting the back end of the PPF off the diff. The front end is removed from the gearbox and the propshaft has been removed so I have a wheelbarrow rear end. I have removed the 2 bolts through the PPF then had problems getting the collar out but did that last night but now it looks to me like the forward of the 2 captive nut / tube things is too long and is stopping the PPF sliding out. I can pivot it but not remove it. It I wiggle the PPF about I can see silver metal in the gap between the PPF and the diff. I seem to be getting things that other people aren't.
Colin

There is a sleeve inside the front bolt hole in the block.. with front bolt out get and turn a M14x1.5 bolt (long) into the sleeve from the bottom.(there are threads in the sleeve) Twist and pull the sleeve down (hammer and punch sometimes needed). after it is down and free install a bolt M6x1 into the hole in the side of the block/spacer to hold the sleeve in place so you can remove/turn out the long bolt M14x1.5.. After long bolt removed remove the small bolt you put in block to hold sleeve.. When you reinstall the front bolt it will push the sleeve back up in the block and center it.. DO NOT remove the block/spacer or the top round nuts.. You might want to spray a good penatrating oil up the bolt hole and let it sit while.. Front and rear PPF bolts torque to 77>91 ft lbs. Hope this helps
