Hi, I might have to get one of my brake bands re-lined and I'm wondering if you can just slide them over the differential or
do you have to take the whole assembly apart? I've got an OC46-3G
thanks!

I recently re-lined my OC3 with Zimmerman's linings, it turns better than ever! (I've had it 30 years).
One caution, however, WEAR GLOVES! Those little shards of lining go into your fingers and break off like fiberglass.

Each time I have gone through this process I have looped a piece of nylon cord through the differential and then tied it to the new band so I can help pull it through while I'm pushing it in. And Bill Seal is giving you good advise about wearing gloves.

New U-joints are available from Zimmerman, as I recall. They had an original replacement style and a heavier type where you would need to replace the entire drive link.
