Durga Differentials - Manual Instruction Wrong?

[thebigwig 2]

Hi,

I run into a problem with the durga differential assembly.

According to the manual, the long bolt goes through from the longer diff joint and the spring goes into the shorter diff joint and then you tighten it.

I did all that but now when I assemble the rear drive shaft, it barely goes into the short diff joint because the spring, K4 and bolt is not all the way in.

so should I flip it around and put the bolt through the shorter diff joint since the longer diff joint has plenty of room? Is the the instruction in the manual wrong?

Please advise. Thanks

The instructions show to flip the diff before installing the bolt.  There's a twisted arrow between the center image and the rightmost image; it can be hard to see and easy to overlook.  Several people have posted here about making this mistake; don't feel bad - you're not alone!

You're right, I do see the twisted arrow now. Thanks.

 

Question now is can I remove the bolt and flip to shorter diff joint without disassemble the entire rear and front gear box?

@ speedy_w_beans => Thanks for pointing out the twisted arrow!  I was able to reverse the bolt without having to disassemble the entire gear box!

Crazy.. haha. I need to watch out for these twisted arrows... They are twisted alright!

cheers
