B4 tight diff

[mikeyscott]

Just done a rebuild on the 2nd hand B4 I've got as it hasn't been run yet and the diff is now notchy. Does it need to be run in or has something been over tightended? I wound back the diff screw by 1/8 as instructed etc

Rebuilt as in? Replace the plates, balls and trust race plates/balls. Something is flat or damaged.

[mikeyscott]

Nothing has been replaced it was just a case of a clean out and re-grease etc

[Southwell]

Thats prob why then. At least replace the diff rings. They're only £1.50.

Time to order some more bits up

Should have just bought a new kit and been done with it.

Nah, it's a given when you rebulid a diff you need to replace the main diff rings as least every two-three rebuilds. Be aware the rings only work one way up, one side is flat.
