[quote=Podge;2973841]All the rear is almost back in along with the disc brake ass end. I just need to find another drive shaft and I'm set !!! In other news this arrived today :)


Where did you get this, and how much was it?

[tcanin00]

And congratulations on the progress on your car! I just ordered all of the parts for my new exhaust system and am impatiently waiting for them. I might have trade worked out for an '86 3235i parts car and I'm pretty excited about it because it would give a lot of the parts I need.

i got one just like that, i got it from ebay. about 35usd.

[tcanin00]

I'll have to check eBay then! I just order a lot of parts from eBay, so this will be in the next round when I get paid again.

[Podge]

My one is a b&m one cost $300 AUD probably the same as the $30 eBay one

When i was changing the subframe over i was trying to get the driveshafts off of the diff to make pressing out the diff bush easer and the whole thing just poped out of the diff! the part that bolts onto the driveshaft and then goes into the diff is what had popped out is this a problem or do i just chuck it back in the diff? i have a picture below and circled the bit that i pulled out.

[Dj Buttchug]

its held in by a retainer clip. just adjust the clip a little and pop it back in. it will be fine as long as it doesnt start leaking

[Podge]

Ok I'll have to look for this clip!! Will it be on the end or can it fall off?

[Dj Buttchug]

it cant fall off. its a ring clip that sits in a small groove. it basically keeps the shaft from coming out of the actual diff housing. sometimes the ring clip becomes collapsed allowing the shaft to pop out. take a screwdriver and bend the ring clip out a tiny tiny bit. too much and it will be a bitch to get back in.

[Podge]

Thanks for that mate!!!
