Hello,
I am wondering if a A series pinion crownwheel set will fit on an A+ mainshaft? About to offer it to a friend but do not know if it will fit.
Thanks,
Paul

Pretty sure it will, but by all means wait for a second opinion from someone that's actually done it.

Cheers. Can't get the mainshaft nut undone at the moment. And I am on the heavy side too!!

As pairs yes, they interchange.

Have you got a big break-away torque wrench ?
If you use one that you can knock the square drive through, screw it up to its max and use it in reverse; as it breaks away, it acts like an impulse wrench.

Brilliant thanks Moke and Deadsquare. Glad an A series fits. I'll give the torque wrench a go. My breaker bar just bends
Just checking, which gears are you locking up? Should be 1 and 4.
Rattle guns are also good for undoing very tight nuts.

They will go in but make sure both are either A+ or pre A. You can’t mix them as you’ll not get the diff cover back on.
Thanks for the advice. There's a 3.44 A+ on there at the moment but my mate wants to do rallying and his mates are telling him 3.4 is too high. I have an A series 3.6 crownwheel and pinion but until I get the main nut off I cannot try it. Need a big, heavy german car to sit on it!
