Shotblasted Diff :(
MikeFellows - 13/9/09 at 09:19 PM

Local shotblasting place managed to get some shot into my drive shaft holes (having promised they wouldnt)

i guess im now need to strip the diff down and give it a good clean out.

is it a job for a simpleton?

Q? Why blast it?

Woud be a tall order to guarantee not to IMHO?

Take the cover of and keep washing it out with parafin.

+ fit a magnetic plug (if there available)

so...

remove the drain plug, remove the star headed bolts

and clean out with lots of parafin and a magnet?

it sounds easier said than done

Nasty!! Good reason just to wire brush + hammerite in future!! What did they use to blast it?
