Q & A

What kind of vehicle is being worked on?

A Suzuki Jimny.

What is the main goal of the work being done?

To disassemble and overhaul the rear differential.

What issues were there previously with the rear locker installation?

There were some mistakes made with the hole drilling that need to be fixed.

What will be done to the brake components?

The brakes will be refreshed with new parts where possible and everything will be cleaned/sandblasted.

What is the purpose of sandblasting the components?

To clean and remove dirt, oil, rust etc. to make the parts look fresh again.

How are the axle shafts removed?

The brake components need to be completely disassembled first before the axle shafts can slide out.

What adjustment is done to the ring gear?

The backlash (gap between ring and pinion gear) is set to the specified 0.1-0.15mm range.

How is the gear contact pattern checked?

By applying a marking compound and rotating the gears to look for the contact pattern.

What potential upgrades are planned for later?

Swapping out the hub bearings, upgrading the back plate, and more brake refreshing.

What was the key lesson learned from doing this job?

Gained valuable experience disassembling a differential for the first time, despite it being time consuming.
