Something's broken

Hi,

If its the Front bolt, then remove
the Diff and have the part that has
sheared off '' sparked'' out the diff
casing.

Any good engineering shop will do that.

Same as when the Brake Nipple shears
on the Caliper etc.

If not then have the sheared off part
drilled out, recut with oversize tap, and the
just re-drill the front diff Bush, which
is pressed into the Rear Sub frame/ Diff
carrier, which will be simple as the
Diff is out.

Makes no odds if the front Bolt is M10 or
M12.

If its a rear bolt then the thread into
diff carrier can be done in exactly the
same way, as can the 'ear bush'' on the
rear of the Diff back plate.

Regards,

The Gorilla.
