Reply to "Need to Wire tie the ring gear bolts"

From my experience....

Make up a jig (wrong term, but) or cardboard template, and keep every bolt and every spacer in the same place.

The "washers" on the long cross bolts are actually shims, and the case needs to be reassembled exactly as it came apart. There are a lot of shims on those cross-bolts, and it's easy to get them mixed up.

I would plan to replace all the "wave washers" on the bolts that seat the lower cover.

Use "Yamabond" (or the equivalent) on the gaskets. Get a gasket set from RBT / SAAC / IPSCO or your favorite vendor before you start.

There are lots of nuts / washers on the sideplates, too.

Then once you are inside - be very careful if you decide to pull things out of the differential assembly - there are lots of friction disks, gears, shafts, etc.

I am not trying to tell you not to do it - only to be very organized, and careful that you assemble everything back the way it came apart. That way you don't have to worry about things changing.

If you have the ZF Manual, it would probably not be a bad thing. It can be downloaded at the POCA site (if you are a member), or can be found on the Interwebs by searching for a Maserati Bora ZF manual.

Here's a taste of what things can look like if you aren't organized.....

I learned my lesson the first time I went in there!
