Re: Diff leaking around the bolts
Often, we never hear how things turned out for the originator of a thread so I thought I'd report back.
It's been 36 hours now since I removed the bolts on at a time, cleaned the female threads and the bolts, put a washer on the bolt and silicone under it and Permatex #3 on the threads. Torqued them up to 35 ftlb and there are no leaks. I haven't driven it yet but so far, I'm a happy chappy.
It was time consuming and fiddley and I'm pleased it is so easy to get at the diff under a P/U. Time well spent!
