cosworth diff pinion socket, where from?

[M K]

Where can i get a socket to remove the pinion nut on a cosworth 2wd rear diff?

This is what i need to get off, so it will have to be a deep socket


I forgot to measure the size but looking at the pic its a 12 point type but will double check tomorrow

Thanks
Marc

you just need a deep multi sided socket mate thats what i have used before

[neil a]

Just buy a cheap socket on ebay cut it in half and weld a bit pipe inbetween.

If your close stop by and ill undo it for you mate.

Cheers guys

Thanks for the offer Jano but sorted now

Take these things as a personal challenge to do myself

To buy a 12 point socket 90mm deep is a fooking fortune as normal deep isn't deep enough so sod that

Went and bought a 36mm 12 point socket for £10.80 and a piece of tube for £2 and cut the socket in half as suggested above by Neil welded in the tube and jobs a goodun,





Diff's now both completely stripped ready for cleaning, modding and rebuild



Thanks

Good tool to have What ya doing to mod the diff?

[M K]

Yeah one of them tools i may only ever use once but handy to have,

Just modding the front diff ready for the strengthening plate by drilling and tapping the casing to take M8 studs instead of M6 bolts

[FletchCossie]

What ya doing to the rear one?

[M K]

Rear diff cover will be drilled and tapped for Aeroquip oil cooler lines in and out as i am going to run a small oil cooler and pump as that will help

[FletchCossie]

That will help get pics up when it's done please mate

These standard diffs?

[M K]

Standard ones stripped out and most likely be replaced with titan or similar before building back up

[M K]

Front diff studded if you wanted a look Fletch
