tooler Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Look for some info on where to purchase diff bearings for manta a. Have got outer half shaft ones so need all the rest. Axle whine is gone bad so presuming that will sort it. Axle was lying up for a while. Can anyone recommend anyone they have purchased off. Cheers anthony.

611 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Hey Anthony If you can get a part number you will find it much easier to track one down. You will need the crush washer and a bloody bit torque wrench! as they have to be done up pretty tight to get the crush washer (well crushed!) did mine a while back and here is a pdf from the workshop manual with all the info. http://www.theopelproject.com/shop-manual/opel-manta-axel.pdf http://www.bearingkits.co.uk/OPEL-MANTA-AXLE-PINION-BEARING-SPACER/105.htm try http://www.vauxhall-car-parts.co.uk/ they might be able to help or if your lucky and have a good Vauxhall they should be able to get the part number and you might find someone doing it, Germany is quite good for some hard to find bits. These guys have it but its not cheap as its the complete axel kit, not sure if they just do the bearing and crush washer, try dropping them an email http://www.splendid-parts.de/kaufhaus_2/themes/kategorie/detail.php?artikelid=179643&languageid=2 or you could see if Thomas at http://www.edelschmiede.com/ has as he does loads of bits. Not looked on his site for a while or i would want to order loads of bits! he's very helpful. Hope some of this helps. Also some other links on my A series blog www.theopelproject.com Andy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASCONA-HOLIC Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Hi Anthony, I have some sets of bearing for the differential group (2 same bearings, the ones in the inner side of the half-shafts), therefore if you like just let me know.

611 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Everything seems to be expensive these days! Did you get the crush spaces as well? Hope it all goes well fitting it all. Andy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
