well im a dumb fuucking idiot.
bought a diff for my wagon cos old one was stuffed.
put new one in, drove around the block, and found that rear wheel bearing was wrecked.
just pulled axle out and took old bearing off, and then thought id smash the bearing outer out of the diff tube, but what i just realised is that the outer bearing case was non existant and what i was hitting was not the bearing shell but the diff tube, rendering the diff fuucked and me a stupid fck wit.

oh sh*t, thats no good, ive had similar situations happen to me before, where you realise what youve done, step back, then do the following in order, Gasp, Start swearing, Punch the nearest object or throw the bottle of drink on the ground, then sit down, light a smoke/crack a cold one and decide what your going to do.
must have happened to me 50 times on my escort, just cant think of any at the moment.
