As it turns out the damage was perhaps not as bad as previously anticipated. Abe came up this weekend to help me tear things apart and put it back together again. “Help me”….my role was mostly to get the tools.
The drive shaft was removed from the transmission, so we had to remove it from the differential in order to re install it into the transmission. The initial fear was that the differential was damaged. As it turns out it doesn’t seem that’s the case. We took it for a drive this afternoon and all seems to be working well. I bought some parts I should receive this week and then I will take it down to Mexico to do final repairs and then have it painted.
