[urq] Pressing in a new rear diff mount?

[Todd Phenneger]

I didn't have any issues with mine.  Took quite a few tries to get it jigged up right though so that it would hold.  I think I ended cutting some Galvanized pipe tubing in half to serve as a spacer on one side, and then blocked the rest of it up.

Definitely make sure the busing is frozen.  And I preheated the housing.

Question:  Early or late Diff?  I'm assuming the 85's had the 3-pc rear diff with the removable differential mount?  If you are doing the earlier style then I'm curious about the offset of the 034 bushing.  
IE:  Early urq's with the 1-pc rear diff used a rear diff mount where the hole was offset a little from center.  Later AEC Rear diffs used a mount that was centered.  If your using the 034 unit (Which is centered like the 90q/Cq mounts) in an early housing I"m curious if you will have any issues getting it to line up well.

Good luck
