Hi Bob,
This is a job I tackled two winters ago on my 1953 Sunbeam Alpine which has
a Salisbury differential but not sure of the model number. All the
pertinent information as to bearing load, backlash clearances and wear
pattern are in my shop manual and I could scan these pages for you if you
feel it would be of any assistance.
I have put about 10,000 trouble free miles on it since so I feel the
rebuild was successful. In my case the previous owner had somehow abused
the car to the point that the cast iron cage that holds the spider gears
and bolts to the crown wheel had cracked through on both sides and not sure
why it didn't just disintegrate and lock up.
Regards,
Bob
