Having just stripped my 'spare' '31 axle I re-read this thread with interest; not least because it has one short and one 'long' half shaft!
The shafts are both 0.890 type (edit: whoops! no they're not) but nonetheless seem very loose in the bushes either side of the diff. Can anyone suggest what is an acceptable running clearance here?
I guess the fix is to replace the bushes and ream to fit. As Tony mentioned above this is probably better done 'in line' with a guided reamer, is anyone able to point me to a suitable tool for the job please?
