Ruined my own diff by incorrectly adjusting pinion after seal change. Wreckers want 1K for 2nd hand centre. Repairer said maybe 1k to fix, if not too much damage. What does the people with the knowledge suggest?

Whereabouts are you that a second hand one is a grand, looking on eBay a complete axle is 250 quid?

Also what is the age of the Jimny and what has actually been damaged, bearings, crown wheel, pinion, centre or casing?

I think I’ve damaged the pinion and crown from over tightening

Ah Australia ok. Yes it does but the ratio was the same from 2005 to the end of production so that opens up some scope of finding a replacement. Again a thousand bucks seems high for just a diff. An arb centre is only 600 quid here after shipping?
