Differential cover On the differential cover plate looks like there is 2 bolts on very top looks like there part of the cover but also looks like bolts go through a bar (poss torsion) but clearance is an issue on top where it meets the frame is to the floor board. There is a bracket under the differential. would you know if this bracket has to be removed

1 MIN IS CUTTING IT CLOSE BUT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE IT. TORQUE SPECS SHOULD BE 14 TO 15 FOOT LBS.

Suggest to remove cover and replace gasket with Permatex Gasket Maker Silicone. Fully clean and dry apply a 1/4 bead on cover and bolt down to 20 ft lbs. go around several times to compress silicone. Let silicone cure 30 minutes then refill.

check the specs in your hand book or workshop manual but normally 2 pints will cover it . make sure that you use the correct oil. If it is s limited slip differential you can ONLY use Limited slip oil but if it is a normal diff then you can use either oil The grade should be oep 8w-90

Sorry but what are you asking?? more info please.

If you are talking about the cover plate on the pumkin all you need to do is loosen the bolts on the cover but dont take them out yet, after you loosen them take out the bottom bolts first to drain the fluid then take all the remaining bolts out, scrape off the old seal on the cover and the differential housing, clean off with alcohol or brake cleaner and install new seal with a light even coat of RTV, torque bolts according to specs and in the pattern suggested, add gear oil and you are done.

• It's just some bolts holding the cover plate to the front pumpkin (differential). 10 maybe. You will need a cover plate gasket if you pull the cover plate. You can drain and fill it if you want and it will be fine. Being a mechanic I always like to pull the cover plate and spray the spider gears with some brake clean first then put the cover plate on and fill it up. Get's them gears squeaky clean. But a simple drain and fill is sufficient.

Hi, W/D here.

Easy fix. Your upper locking bar has slipped. While someone is holding the door handle in the open position, you'll need to push the upper lock bolt back far enough to get the door open. You can slide it back carefully with a screwdriver or knife, a little at a time, while holding slight tension on the door with the handle. OK, door's open. Remove the inner door lock cover plate. The lever and locking knob will come off with it. Remove the mortise cover plate, on the edge of the door. Insert a small, thin bladed into the upper alignment slot in the lock behind the mortise cover plate, and loosen the upper allen screw behind the inside lock cover plate. Use the screwdriver to engage a slot in the locking bar, and raise or lower the bar until you have it level with the alignment slot. Tighten the allen screw.
Sometimes, the bar is so far out of alignment that you will have to gain access to the other end of the bar, in order to raise or lower it. This is done by removing the plastic cover on top of the door, and using needle nosed pliers to move the bar.
This should fix you up.

Best regards, --W/D--

Here are removal procedures. Can I send reinstall on another ticket? I don't think they will fit in one solution... Tranny REMOVAL

1.8L and 1.9L Engines See Figures 1, 2

1. Disconnect both battery cables, negative cable first.
2. Remove the battery and battery tray.
3. Remove the engine air cleaner tube and the air intake resonator.
4. Disconnect the speedometer cable at the transaxle.
5. Remove the slave cylinder line-to- slave cylinder hose retaining clip, then disconnect the slave cylinder line from the slave cylinder hose and plug the hose.
6. Disconnect the ground strap from the transaxle.
7. Remove the tie wrap and unplug the three electrical connectors located above the transaxle.
8. Remove the electrical connector support bracket.
9. Install Engine Support Bar 014-00750 or equivalent, and attach it to the engine lifting eyes with suitable chains or cables.

Fig. 1: Install a suitable engine support bar and attach it to the engine lifting eyes-1.8L and 1.9L engines

1. If equipped, remove the three nuts from the left-hand engine support bracket.
2. Loosen the mount pivot nut and rotate the mount out of the way.
3. Remove the three bolts and the left-hand engine support mount.
4. Remove the two upper transaxle-to-engine bolts.
5. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
6. Remove the front wheel and tire assemblies.
7. Remove the inner fender splash shields.
8. Drain the transaxle fluid and install the drain plug.
9. Remove the halfshafts.
10. Install Transaxle Plugs T88C-7025-AH or equivalent, between the differential side gears.
    

WARNING Failure to install the transaxle plugs may cause the differential side gears to become improperly positioned. If the gears become misaligned, the differential will have to be removed from the transaxle to align them.

1. If equipped with the 1.8L engine, remove the intake manifold support bolts and the support.
2. Remove the starter motor.
3. Unfasten the gearshift stabilizer bar nut and washers. Remove the stabilizer bar and bracket from the transaxle.
4. Unfasten the shift control rod-to-transaxle bolt and nut and remove the shift control rod from the transaxle.
5. Remove both lower splash shields.
6. Unfasten the transaxle mount-to-crossmember bolts and nuts and remove the lower crossmember (rear engine support).
7. Position and secure a suitable transaxle jack under the transaxle.
8. Remove the front transaxle mount and bracket.

1. Remove the lower engine-to-transaxle bolts and slowly lower the transaxle out of the vehicle.

CLUTCH REMOVAL

1. If the clutch assembly is to be reused, matchmark the pressure plate and the flywheel so they can be assembled in the same position.
   
2. Install flywheel holding tool T84P-6375-A or equivalent, in a transaxle mounting hole on the engine and engage the tooth of the holding tool into the flywheel ring gear.

Fig. 1: Install a flywheel holding tool in a transaxle mounting hole on the engine, and engage the tooth of the tool into the flywheel ring gear

1. Loosen the pressure plate-to-flywheel retaining bolts one turn at a time, in a crisscross pattern, until the spring tension is relieved, to prevent pressure plate cover distortion.
2. Support the pressure plate and unfasten the retaining bolts. Remove the pressure plate and clutch disc from the flywheel.

If the flywheel shows any signs of overheating (blue discoloration) or if it is badly grooved or scored, it should be refaced or replaced.

1. Inspect the flywheel, clutch disc, pressure plate, release bearing, pilot bearing and the clutch fork for wear. Replace parts as needed.

Go to Searspartsdirect.com and enter the complete Sears model number minus the decimal point. That should bring you to a series of replaceable parts diagrams plus part numbers. If the bolt is not listed as a separate part, then likely it is part of the fuel tank assembly. Hope this helps!

remove cover.take off back wheels and calipers (or drums).turn differential to where you see small bolt/pin (5/16) horizontally (same direction as axles)on right side of differential.remove bolt/pin.A large pin (about 5"long 3/4"diameter) should slide out differential with ease ( you may have to tap one side of the large pin).turn differential to completely remove large pin.turn differential so you can see in the view window.push each axles in (they'll go in about 1 1/2"each) You may hear one of the axle C-clips fall.If not use a small telescoping magnet to remove the C-clips from the axles through the differential window.pull each axle out about 10"so they are out of the diff.Now remove the cap bolts(4-5/8"bolts) and remove the caps(mark the caps so they go in excactly the way they came out.be careful the diff might fall out.If not you may have to use a long bar or 2x4 to wedge and pry the differential out. Have a basket/crate w/rags in it to catch the diff.TIP:If you are removing the ring gear from the diff, the bolts are left handed bolts meaning you have to turn them clockwise to loosen and counter clockwise to tighten ; )
