maddmatt 07-15-2004, 10:18 PM Is there a writeup available anywhere for installing an Aussie Locker in an 8" toy diff? I've searched and came up with nothing, and the instructions that come with the thing pretty much look like Greek to me. I need pictures to understand what the hell they're talking about. Stowe 07-16-2004, 05:50 AM Installing the Aussie was easy as pie. If you can find a set of instructions for lok-right it does make things a little better. Search google... might even be here some where...? woody 07-16-2004, 07:23 AM http://www.ih8mud.com tech links writeups are for Cruisers, but Toy diffs outta be similar. maddmatt 07-16-2004, 09:52 AM Do you have to remove the ring gear to install an Aussie? woody 07-16-2004, 10:57 AM depends on the diff.... I know on a 4-spider 6cyl Toy minitruck rear diff, you do I know on a 2-spider 4cyl Toy minitruck or Cruiser diff, you don't. varies by application.... SilverZuk 07-16-2004, 01:59 PM I justed e-mailed you a PDF of the lock right install instructions. Just make sure you mark the spanners and get a feel for backlash. If your spanner is adjusted one complete turn off, you will know the backlash is too loose. hbar314 07-17-2004, 04:12 PM Do you have to remove the ring gear to install an Aussie? Yes. The center pin will hit the ring gear so you cant take it out. I was afraid of doing that but its cake. When you go to put the ring gear back on the FSM says to heat it up in an oil bath. Instead i just put the carrier in the freezer over night and put the ring in the oven for a little while (low heat). Makes it easier to put the ring back on the carrier. Remember to mark everything so you can put it back the same way. Pazuzu 07-17-2004, 04:21 PM Luke Miller still has the best writeup on the web I think: http://hometown.aol.com/mallrnr85/locker.html And woody, you got them switched...the V6 4-pinion does NOT require the ring gear to be touched, the 4-banger 2-pinion requires it to be removed. maddmatt 07-17-2004, 09:07 PM Thank for the help, got it in today and it works great. 2 hour job my ass!

Took ME all day, I must be slow. :flipoff2: Yes, you are slow. I can do an install in 30 minutes if the diff is out, and I have only installed a couple ;) lal357 07-19-2004, 03:58 AM i just did the aussie this weekend and it was a breeze to do did a write up on how i did it but dont have anyplace to put it yet took me 1 1/2 hrs to do the install probably would have less but i had to file the carrier down some to get it in | |
