I tore down a center section of a compeller rear diff ( early magnums are the same) and took pictures of it disassembled. This week, as time permits, I hope to reassemble it and take pictures as I do it and will post a tutorial. In the mean time here is what I got so far.  I left the bearings in the main housings.  Axel Drive Gear Assembly  Reverse/Forward Shifting Fork  Reverse/Forward Shifting Fork Disassembled  The fork removed from the rod. This shows the check ball in place. The rod has a slot cut into it where this ball ( and spring below it) rides on the shaft.  Reverse/Forward Gear Assembly  Drive Gear  Shift Rod Along with the Lever is what moves the fork from forward to reverse.  Side Case Notice the shim to the left of the case. This shim keeps the bearing in the proper position  Side Case Notice the shims to the right of the case. These shims keeps the bearings in the proper position. Jim/Owner Rapid Repair |

So, why did you pull that case apart? Was washing it off and a fresh coat of paint not enough for this one?

The man is doing a great service doing this to help the folks with trikes that have this type of a differential. He has been asked if he could do this I believe in this forum and two other forums. Some have had problems with the Reverse on this differential and many just lock the reverse in the forward position and not use the Reverse.
So he is spending a lot of time and effort taking it apart to show and teach the folks with trikes with this type of differential how to tear it down to replace and or fix something that might have gone bad.
After he puts it back together he will then wash it and give it a fresh coat of paint and you then can comment on his wash and paint job.

Reading comprehension. My question was what is wrong with it. If there is nothing wrong with it then so be it. It was not said in the original post why it was being taken apart but it's nice that you know why he did so.
At-least I could tell there was nothing wrong with it to begin with and wanted to know why it was apart.

So, why did you pull that case apart? Was washing it off and a fresh coat of paint not enough for this one? I guess I don't really understand your response. It could be taken several different ways. The condition of this unit was unknown. All I got was the center section. I didn't think it was relevant to say that. I have had several requests to tear one down and post it. Hopefully this helps someone that has an issue and needs a breakdown. Maybe I jumped the gun by posting this now, should have waited until I did the reassembly as a tutorial. Jim |

Those gears are darn close to straight cut, they are going to make plenty of noise. I'd not mind the noise, straight cut are very strong. Peace of mind.
