Shipment of the WUR arrived in Europe within a week. Installing the actuator was easy and very accurate.
Getting it out took more effort after sitting for 50 years. The ultrasonic cleaner helped out great.
The tool is handy but not strong enough if all is seized, be sure the locknut can move before you use the tool.
I am pleased a replacement actuator is now available for our Tii's. I'll install the WUR on the 02 soon.

Actually there is a very easy way to slide out the side-cover bearing races without having to drill in the cover .

SIDE-COVERS & PUMPKIN INSERTION --------------------------------------
One of the more difficult parts of the entire process is the removal of the side-cover bearing races. Typically a race will have some sort of lip to use a punch or puller on allowing for removal, for some reason the E21 open diff's side-covers have no such access. The only way to remove them is to carefully drill a few small angled access holes on the face of the cover so you can run a punch through and pop out the race.
I've read most of the article but the last remark worries me.
you say you placed the tranny mounts 80-mm but that is for a close ratio gearbox the e21 gearbox is just a little longer witch explains why there is no clearance at the front and why you used washers, there shouldn't be any washers.
I have a close ratio in my touring and a e21 5 speed in the baur, they are not the same length
Again it was worthwhile flying over the big pond. We had such a good time at the vintage an the days we stayed there, covered three states and saw a lot of nice scenery. It was good to see all of our friends again.
Here are the pictures of the Dutch delegation.

Guys we don't have that stuff over here, just normal wires.
I don't know why you have, might it be because of emissions, or your low octane rate, we had 98 in those days. maybe things got hotter because of the different settings?
Hi Andre
Je zit toch niet toevalig in Purmerend, ik meen de loodsen te herkennen. Ik kom er zelf ook vandaan en bezit meerdere 02's binnenkort ga ik met een vriend beginnen aan een Is project.
