I'm sure the 2x bolts holding clutch to the holder come in 2x different sizes?

Actually yes I think your right, I'm pretty sure cy and zen have different bolt diameters and different bolt spacings ?

cant get that side hex out the pd brace☹..nuts jus spinning in the placstic bit ffs

Yes mate really, I'm wasn't pulling your plonker.. Lol
If I remember rightly you want the diff bolts in from the right hand side as you look from the front, if not then it the other way either way yours was wrong and probably still is??

I'm sure the 2x bolts holding clutch to the holder come in 2x different sizes?
so I'll need the correct bolts to match?

Zenoah and cy clutch bolts are a different size so you need the cluch/bolts to suit
BTW the actual overall clutch size is the same for all

52mm clutch cy 8mm zen 8mm

i think its common knowledge that you never reuse a squish gasket

i know ..diff in wrong way?...so if i didnt reuse that gasket my diff would of stayed in the wrong way until i pulled it in about 2 years time?....

can you get a proper pic of before and after you fix the orientation of the ring gear? cuz marks explanation makes no sense to me ? and i want to make sure my poop is in properly before i sell the rov and when i reassemble my hpi

 

[evssv]

i gota new gasket..thk fek?

https://flic.kr/p/2hFa3Xx

gonna leave diff out overnight jus incase it still leaks ..hopefully not now with new gasket?

tbh i cant see how it can b the wrong way as the diff is symmetrical?

thats what i was thinking

Centrifugal force will unscrew the bolts if they on the left ?? but if they on the right the same force will keep the tight??

 

[Z.hb71]

so you just flip the diff so the bolt heads are facing the right (the same side where the gear cover would be)??

 

[DougStar]

Right??

[Z.hb71]

Right??

cant remember how the fek i did it in the rov not sure if i want to go into that tranny case(PITA TO FIT THE DIFF)

ahh...i see?
