jaymz Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Hi i was just wondering if anyone knows how many different sizes there are for the flange that bolts the drive shaft to the diff, my cortina one is 80mm from centre to centre digagonal and my escort dive shaft is in the car so i don't know. any help? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leebo3 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I had some problems with this part on my car. I put a new flange on and it stopped the diff turning because the flange was to deep. I ended up getting a whole new diff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymz Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 yeah my diff bolts came loose inside my diff head and jammed up the crownwheel so i got a new diff from the wreckers but the drive shaft didn't fit so after a lot of mucking around i canged the pinion flange i think it's called over from my original head to the new one, but on trade me i found a single peice drive shaft that i want but i don't know wether it will fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leebo3 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Make sure you tighten the flange bolt upto the right torque setting or u will be in trouble! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaymz Posted July 19, 2005 Author Share Posted July 19, 2005 what kind of trouble will i run into? I just tightned it with a socket set and tightened it till the spring washers were pretty much flat and i've done about 600 k's since and nothings fallen off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burntrubber Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 I know there is at least two sized flanges I got a diff from a 1300 L and it didnt fit my 1600 sport drive shaft. No idea if it was smaller or bigger it was while back now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
