Default Banjo rebuild.

Seeing as how my car is in pieces, I thought I'd pull the rear end (47) and set it up properly. Previously it had just been thrown together. I read up everything I could find, and there are two very good threads in the Tech Archives on the Hamb. Armed with my trusty torque wrench and a set of banjo gaskets from C&G, I ripped it apart. Cant be too hard... carrier bearing preload, pinion preload, backlash. Hahahaha....
I lost count but I think it took me 12 or 13 assembly/disassembly procedures to get it where I was really happy with it! I can do it blindfolded now

After 12 or 13 times, I'll bet you wished you had a fresh set of banjo gaskets for the final assembly!

Feels good when you get things right.. If mine ever packs it in , I'll buy you a ticket to Perth.

I hope I never have to do one again. the first thing is TAKE YOUR TIME!
I learned that the hard way!
