Title: rear diff problem Post by: dwortho on June 09, 2011, 06:58:34 PM Hi all
decided to change the rear diff on my fe ute, but up came a problem the universal joint fits the diff but not the prop shaft. diff is a 1 inch location and the prop shaft is 15/16th.the joint is 1 inch all round. I have got a fe sedan which i'm restoring and already swapped the diff,so i tried the prop shaft and it fits,but is that the right way or is there a universal joint that will do the job. yours Dave w Title: Re: rear diff problem Post by: FCGos on June 09, 2011, 10:10:54 PM You could always replace the pinion yoke with the one from the old diff provided the outside flange to seal diameter and spline is the same, then you just need to get the smaller universal joint.

apparently some early ute's had parts from the fx. cheers Dave w |
