|      Dear Morganeers,
     
     I have been working on the rear axle for my '54 plus 4.  It is a 
     Salsbury 3HA differential and I have been using a copy of Tim Cree's 
     article (on parts interchangeability) from an old Miscellany and 
     another article (on wheel bearing and seal replacement, I think by Bob 
     Adair).  
     
     Now that I have the hubs off (using a big puller) and one axle out 
     (slide hammer puller), I can see that the whole axle should be cleaned 
     out and rebuilt.  This brings me to my question:
     
     Does anyone have a Jaguar MkII 2.4 workshop manual or a copy of the 
     section on rebuilding the rear axle?  The Cree article lists this as 
     the most "common" car using a 3HA axle.
     
     I don't know if I'll tackle the differential rebuild myself, but I 
     would at least like to learn about the process.  I can supply copies 
     of the above articles if anyone needs them.  I have also rebuilt the 
     Moss gearbox for the same car and can offer info and advice on this 
     process.
