evilscorp Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Hi guy's, took the Kaaz diff apart to set the locking to 60% rather than the 100% it comes with. Issue I am having is lining everything back up and clamping it down to re fit the bolts (another issue is being kindly looked into by Ewen at Clarkmotorsports) Too cold to work outside and my garage is too small atm, so the missus isn't pleased. Just for peoples ref this is it in half and the gears inside Trying to get it back together but dont want to force it, As you can see from the photo once the inner gears are in place there isnt much room for the clutch plates to sit in grooves, the two spring plates at either side cause this. Basically you have to line up the A type clutch plates in the inner semi circle grooves and the B type plates in the outer half rectangle groove, which is hard as they are all tight and you cant get your fingers inbetween once the cover is over.

a2orry Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) If you're sure everything is lined up pull it together with longer bolts then replace one at a time with the original. Edit you could also use nuts and bolts in some of the crown wheel fitting holes. Edited January 20, 2015 by a2orry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 That is the issue hard to tell it's 100% lined up when the cover goes on, a slight twist could put the rectangular halves out of line and they need squished into the groves. Also quite an unusual shaped bolt so would struggle to get one that fits. Think I just have to keep trying with the g clamps and small movements. Bloody rx7 kaaz diff looked a piece of pis on YouTube. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) See if this helps: http://www.motoiq.co...sco-RS-LSD.aspx We've used this when we did Bennett's diff, a night that I want to forget about it! :lol: Edited January 21, 2015 by octet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Good read cheers but theirs just lined up a and bolted together =/ think I am over thinking this and just need to clamp it hard down and bolt it back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Gary, You will require to clamp to get the end cover on. Providing you have not fooked up with the build, then clamping is normal practice. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizz Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 As above, you will need to provide some clamping load on the plate to get it to seat. If you are concerned get some longer bolts which are the correct diameter, to limit the chance of misalignment, to line up the holes in both sides. You don't necessarily need to put nuts on them just use them as alignment pins. The more you have the less likely it will be to move out of shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Cheers guys went for it before I seen the reply's and yeah I was just being too soft. Needed to clamp quite hard and it all went in fine, started to torque up the bolts to 19NM as suggested and the allen heads started to strip so stopped. Its on tight and the ring gear bolts should hold it together anyway but waiting on Clark motorsports getting back to me as the manual says the bolts should be replaced each time (probably because they are made so cheese) and they supply you with one set of spares (which mine did not have ) never mind all good and set up for 60% lock.

Kev T Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hi Evilscorp, i need to set my Kazz to 60% as well so your post of interest to me. Having never had an LSD apart before is it just a case of turning the clutch plates in pairs to achieve the required slip ? Apart from the clamping issue did you run into any problems at all.

evilscorp Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hi Kev, only other issue was the tight tolerances for sliding in the pressure rings. apart from that and the lack of spare hex bolts they say they provide it was a piece of ****, just remember which way it goes in and out.

Kev T Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Cheers for info that its a fairly simple job, i have sourced more allen bolts so will attempt the disassemble next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 I think I actually took a gopro video of me taking it apart but its not really needed and is just me looking at the clutches for ages lol. I would maybe suggest clamping the cover down before removing the hex bolts as it will want to pop off and puts a bit of stress on the last bolt thats holding it together.

Kev T Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Ok thanks, I assume to reduce the slip to 60% it is a case of turning the clutch plate grip faces on 4 of the 10 plates ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yup. I set it up so that the spring plate is on the outer (as it comes like from the factory)then x2 of the clutches with teeth on the outer rim then x2 with teeth on their inner rim. After that just normal alternating plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev T Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Brilliant, thanks for the info, as you probably have yours fitted first it will be interesting to hear your opinion good or bad of the change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Probably not as I need to replace all the bushes on the rear subframe and new windscreen. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
