bones Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 I am trying to sort my axle out and came across these shims in a box and was wondering what they are for and where they go. Any ideas? Quote
Alf Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 They should go between the bearings either side of the Crownwheel and the casing when you set the axle up! Cheers, Alf. Quote
611 Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Hey alf i have a Opel manta workshop manual which show how to setup the axel and torque setting ect.. and can scan and mail across that section if you need a bit more info when rebuilding it? Did mine a few years ago and its fun getting the crush washer torqued up to the right amount!! Just PM me if you do need any more info. Andy Quote
Alf Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Hi Andy, Thanks for the offer but it's Bones that's doing the rebuild? How are you? Have you finished your car yet or is it still hanging from the garage roof!!!! Cheers, Alf. Quote
bones Posted November 27, 2011 Author Posted November 27, 2011 Thanks Alf, I have had a look and see where you mean, I don't think I looked hard enough.

Andy Hello Andy, I would be interested in a copy of the axle instructions if you could please. Quote
611 Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 Hey Bones No problem, i should be able to get them scanned on tuesday as i have the day off to do Manta stuff! I will do them in a format so you can download and print them off. The workshop manual is so much better that the Haynes one as it even shows you how to make any special tools that you need. I have a little opel blog running for my project so will setup a new page and add them to that and let you know when done. If there are any other sections you need doing let me know and i can then do them at somepoint. www.theopelproject.com Andy Quote
bones Posted November 27, 2011 Author Posted November 27, 2011 Hi Andy, That sounds spot on , that would be a massive help. Like you say the Haynes one isn't very helpful. I'll have a look at your blog to see the project you have on your hands. Thanks very much Quote
611 Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 No problem, if you dont get a PM from my by the end of the week give me a nudge as i might have got side tracked with chassis rail welding :-) Quote
