<VV> Early Differential Yoke failure....advice

[nicolcs at aol.com]

Just replace the side adjusting sleeve. You can reuse the bearing cup or better yet replace it. Don't forget a new seal and o-ring when you are ordering.  Turn in till it's firmly in contact with the case, back off two notches, (supposedly makes the o-ring happy) then in firmly again + two notches.  Good to go!

Question.....What about just replacing the adjusting sleeve and using the
old cone or using a new cone?  The differential has about 40,000 miles on it
since all the bearings, gears were replaced.  Doing that would sure save
alot of time but would it be a mistake?

Only other easy way would be to make an offset locking tab to grab one of
the good teeth in the damaged sleeve.

What do you think,
