The pinion can be moved in and out by rotating the torque tube. The crown wheel can be moved side to side using the notched wheels behind the plates on the back of the axle either side of the diff.
No shims needed. However just which adjustment should be done is a more difficult question.
Help from an experienced helper would be the best course.
It is quite possible that adjustment would sort it out.
Hi Jim
I think this is the later long nose banjo requiring shim adjustment. Screw in torque tube banjos have a plate secured by four set screws on the back of the case (in order to extract the pinion).
But agree with your suggestion that a helper who is familiar with back axles should be called in. 90 degree twist seems a lot!
