Subject:Removing Differential Lock / Cruise Control Plumbing
From:Christopher Gronski

Hi All,

I'm swapping to a locking differential in my syncro and was advised to
run the hoses for the differential lock while the transmission was
out, as it was easier.

I managed to remove the controls on the lower portion of the dask as
well as the line that runs from the front push pull switch all the way
back, attaching to the front diff, T connects into the three ball
resovoir underneith, and runs to the very back. Is this line
everything?

The reason I'm asking is I don't recal ever seeing those three balls
on my non-locking syncro.

There is another line that runs from the balls forward an disapears
into a black box under the steering column. It also runs rearward into
the engine bay and I am having a heck of a time thrying to unto the
hose clamp on the engine bay end to remove it. Should I be pulling
this second hose to install it syncro whiel the transmission is out?

I figure some of this stuff must run the cruise control which I am
alos removing.

Chris
