last week after a quick wheel after work it seems I have broken my locker.... the problem is it now works too well... it cant be unlocked! no grinding or clunks so I guess i haven't smashed it to bits but something is not right. drained the oil and didn't find any chunks. also lifting both rear wheels and rolling the wheels around doesn't work. any ideas? or am i going to have to pull the diff out? poo =[

what does that bit of plastic cost? properly millions.... edit: did i just read $220 on that thread?

Post subject:	Re: Jimny arb locker broke =[
I can't remember the actual cost of the piston but it was something like $220 all up & about 180 of that was labour. i pulled the diff & left it on their counter. these are the parts replaced from the other thread, most of it was replaced due to it being pulled apart. parts replaced: Quad Ring, XR133V75 x 2 part number 160235 Locking Tab 6mm x8 part number 150402 U Ring - RD 75/87/88/118 x 1 part number 160306 Piston, G Type x1 part number 040201

Sounds like atari is right. They've got rid of the plastic pistons now, I was the last one to get an rd88 with one... How old os the locker? You might be able to get warranty.

my sierra diff broke the plastic piston. if you can puill it out your self the part cost me about $20

Post subject:	Re: Jimny arb locker broke =[
the copylocker would be running the same plastic piston as they're using the older design. it went to head office for them to try & do a warranty claim on it for me as it was just out off the 12 months.

Post subject:	Re: Jimny arb locker broke =[
yeah no warranty on mine =[ will give it a go in a month or two. don't need the car as a daily atm and i'm busy with other things anyway. thanks all

oh and the diff was very clean and showed no real sings of wear =]

Post subject:	Re: Jimny arb locker broke =[
can't believe that ARB thought it would be a suitable material to use, did yours look like it was really poorly cast? surely someone would have been able to trim your old username of the shit numbers if you asked nicely but then again, you might end up with something like steak_knife or something_else.

yeah it does look a bit shitty... the go to all the work of machining the whole thing out of steal... then put a crappy plastic piston in it will post up photo's some time this weekend haha nah i did loose my password too

ah i'm back and still waiting on parts for my locker!!!! arb are hopeless.... should get it next week..... now just a Q or two. how hard is it to put the diff back together and get it right? i'm a little worried about lining the crown and pinion up correctly. please help

Author:	atari4x4 [ Fri Dec 09, 2011 9:04 am ]
Post subject:	Re: Jimny arb locker broke =[
you just need to reset the pre-load right on the bearings to get the same backlash as previous. this might help somewhat. http://chromatographyonline.findanalyti ... ?id=277669

Author:	Benz [ Fri Dec 09, 2011 9:25 am ]
Post subject:	Re: Jimny arb locker broke =[
yeah okay .006 - .004 right... i don't have one of those backlash checker thingies
