[FC] diff. rebuild

[Clark Hartzel]

The side retainers just preload the bearings.  They do not have anything to
do with stub axle play.  The stub axles pilot into the ring gear case and
engage the splines of the side gears.  A solution if stubs are really loose
fit might be to chrome the O.D. of the stubs.  In that case you don't have
to take the powertrain out or disassemble anything other than pulling the
axles.  You can measure the amount of play with a dial indicator and take
the stubs to a chrome plater that does "hard chrome" not bumpers.

O.K. so it looks like the whole powertrain is coming out in order to fix
this.It has been 10 years since I took one of these differentials apart, and
I cannot recall how the parts fit inside the case that well. So is the worn
part the actual diff case itself, or is it those side bearing adjusting
sleeves?  If memory serves, In order to remove the ring gear and pinion
shaft I will also need to separate the transmission from the diff case
