In this video, I go into detail on removing the Final/Differential Unit from my 79 Triumph Spitfire 1500. For safety reasons, a transmission jack would be better than my floor jack, might save you a finger or two when it hits the floor. In putting this video together I have moved the "rear road spring" segment forward where I would do it on the tear down, and that is why you will see it still in place on later segments. The reason for this tear down: I was hearing a rumble from the back of the car, mostly when in the corners, and also when coasting to a stop. I found the Right Inner Drive Shaft Bearing was bad, the left also needing replaced. I have the camera's mic on the case to let you hear the sound, but without the weight of the car, the rumble I heard will not be as while driving, as if dragging my thumb across my grand mother's wash board. I will tear down that bearing in my Part 2 video and go further into the differential for a look. I hope to test Rory's Differential Spreader, replacing the shims for the carrier. Important Update 24 June 2020: The differential Sun gear's fiber thrust washers can fail. Copper replacement is the general agreement with some forum members about this. I am pulling my differential after about 28,000 miles to see why the gear oil has BB size fiber pieces in it.
