Every effort has been made in the production of this pin to ensure its maximum specification with regard to material, heat treatment, and finish ground size.

The planet wheels to be used should be checked on the pin prior to assembly to ensure a reasonable tolerance. If excessive play is evident, select different planet wheels.

Due to excessive manufacturing tolerances, it should not be assumed that new planet wheels will be okay. Selection by trial and fit should be employed. If intended for arduous use Minispares recommend using the Molybdenum coated pin C-BTA164.

Use of high detergent content engine oil will drastically reduce the life of the pin and many other engine components. Excessive wheel spinning will cause premature deterioration and failure in all differential components (except for Cross pin or LSD types) Any differential cages with severely worn planet thrust washer surfaces should be discarded, as excessive wear here will contribute to premature diff pin/planet wheel failure.
