rear diff oil and sealing it
beaver34 - 7/9/13 at 06:25 AM

i have a english axle with a tran x plate diff in there,

whats the best oil to be using in there?

also what sealer is recommended from the diff to the axle as its weeping, and the same at the axle ends it weeping on onto the wheels

thanks!

diff to casing last time i used a paper gasket but previously i've just used instant gasket, no problems with leaks.

if its getting onto your wheels it will be the bearing letting it through, been covered on here a bit.
