Volvo 240 Rear Axle Rebuild - G80 Locker Differential Install

[@Involvod]

Brave man! It's always good to watch people do things you don't have the balls to!

[@13Pandam]

It’s not called a spigot gear, but then I guess that’s a matter of a pinion.

[@WhitelandRestorations]

We'd could just go round in circles with this one. This argument has no traction!

[@duncangrainge]

You should be on the stage. There’s one leaving in 5 minutes 😂

[@worldofrandometry6912]

'Diff' is obviously an abbreviation of 'Different'. Well done sorting that out.

[@fulwell1]

So much innuendo could be construed from this video... I am such a child at times :D Great video as always!

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Innuendo...don't know what you mean! We refuse to grow up lol 😆 Thanks for watching!

[@dl242ti]

Super nice work on the diff. When you are ready to install the axles. You may have to shorten one of the axles about a 1/4". If you search for G80 in a 240 you should come up with the information on the axles. Thanks for the great videos.

Trial and error - that's how life works. And diffs... I'm looking forward to the next episode. Cheers :::: Martin

You need some engineers blue on either the pinion gear or crown wheel to check the depth of mesh + measure the lash/preload. Easier now than when it’s noisy as hell and you’re trying to sort it full of oil above your head.

[@Iain240]

Your driver's side half shaft is going to need about 6mm trimming off the end of it to go into that diff.

[@iandavis520]

So he kept the ring gear on that came with the G80?

[@garethdavies3220]

Ahh... I get it now this is a comedy Christmas Special , phew ! Happy Christmas .

[@jackiemay9471]

the bit that bolts to the propshaft (THAT ONE IN THERE) PINION and the big one fixed to the diff with more teeth that looks like a crown a CROWNWHEEL as if you didnt know and just f*****g with us

[@micheltebraake7915]

I also face two differential overhaul jobs, for the Ford Transit MK2 from 1982 I found a company, 300 to 400 euros including parts. For my 1977 Reliant Kitten rear axle I still have to find a company for the revision work, I can't get the wheel hub off (probably rusted).

[@davidflamee]

Well done, slightly diffconbobulated there for a minute or two. Those nasty teeth didn't help or, losing your bearings but, got there in the end. I love it when a plan A comes together. Happy days.

[@grayfool]

Gearing up for tomorrow's exciting installment. Can the Diff fit in the axle? Who knows. . .

[@EVguru]

Rings and pinions are matched sets, mxing even otherwise identical parts in from other diffs would just have been a recipe for howling gears. And you have checked that the half shaft splines are the same for the two diffs, hevan't you?

[@peteredwards7872]

Another great video. Plan A to C and back again the mechanical version of the Hobbit 😂👍

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Wait till you see the directors cut! 😂

[@TheSpanosAntics]

Is that a 1030 or 1031?

[@Andy-sh9eq]

You do know that there's a volvo tool to spread the differential case no hitting the bearings

[@angus3963]

Woop!

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Woop woop! 😂

[@billgriffiths1685]

Guys, I've never seen anyone do this job without using a piecost.

[@WhitelandRestorations]

I'm going to have to say it.... go on what's a piecost

[@glennpowell3444]

The diff. is so underatted.Its physics at its finest mechanically.Arguably the most complex part of a transmission and the whole vehicle.Banger racers weld them up and fuck the genius up in doing so ? I could weld my left foot to my right foot.Same principle.

[@glennpowell3444]

Also I would have kept with the 41 teeth.Ok its a compromise.Not as quick of the mark but longer legs at speed.Alot of early mk 1 escort owners swapped a rear 1300 axle for an 1100 to make them accelerate better but went on to bog the 1300 kent down and hence a lower high end speed because it was reving its nuts off and getting hot and basically going to go pop.

[@angus3963]

A diff spreader would have made this much easier.

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Not everyone has one, including us apparently...we did it the old fashioned way instead 😂

[@johntodd6081]

@@WhitelandRestorations Yes I made one when I did a similar job on a Mk2 Jag😑 Luckily I had just the right pieces in my scrap box - never any thing away!!!
