It's a long while though my memory was that I didn't disturb anything. It was a 3.9 different if that is relevant. But now mentioned, I do recall doing the 2 roll pin trick that David mentions. |

I can confirm that the crownwheel doesnt need to come off, but at least one bearing cap does, as you cant access the pin directly - photo 1.

I just looked at the 4.22 diff carrier on my bench and the pin is inside the inner diameter of the CW and just next to the edge of a tab washer. IIRC some people use 2 spring pins one inside the other as I think at one time the pins weren't available and were somewhat soft anyway, I had one fail which resulted in a terminally damaged pinion. |

It's not actually a roll pin, it's a solid pin. I'm pretty sure the crownwheel doesn't need to be removed. |

Well I remember drifting the roll pin out. And replacing with a new one on reassembly. Without it on the bench in front of me I can't say more. Except I don't recall it being any sort of a problem! |

Hi Guy, |

Now with a slightly cleaner engine bay. And yes it started just as well, even after spraying degreaser and then washing everything down with the garden hose, electrics included!

Quite a satisfying, if somewhat grubby afternoon cleaning the engine bay. It looks a lot better, but also highlights the bits of paintwork that need attention.
