gloide69 Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) Hi I'm trying to remove the pin that secures the planet gear shaft into the differential carrier, of a TR4 Girling axle. It looks like the pin/carrier has been peened over at one end to secure the pin. I can move the pin a back a forth a few millimeters but it doesn't want to move any further. Before I get the big hammer out, I want to check if the pin can be knocked out from either side of the diff carrier or whether it will only come out one way. Is there a technique to get this pin out? Thanks Paul Edited September 21, 2020 by gloide69 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) It punches out using suitable steel drift from crown wheel bolt side. 3/16” diameter I think. Once out the planet gear shaft slides out.

gloide69 Posted September 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Thanks Peter I managed to get it out tonight, it was quite stubborn. The pin looks a little bent which probably explains the difficulty. Thanks Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
