Diff is (almost) Finished
Everything for the differential was cleaned and ready to go.
I was really impressed with the Hylomar Anaerobic Sealer. I applied it to both surfaces with my finger, let it set for about 15 mins per instructions. When I put the parts together, without any bolts at all there was no movement of the cover when I removed my hands. Sticky Stuff! Torqued to spec, wiped off the squeeze out and done.
I still am unsure of the torque of the 14mm hex bolt holding the diff to the mount on the chassis. I ended up putting 60 ft lbs on it only because I had no idea of the actual figure. I have a MB Technical Data Manual coming, maybe it will be listed in there.
1 bottle of Lucas 80\90, and topped off with Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer per a Pierre Hedary video.
I am going to have to wait to replace the boots on the axels, I expect snow to be flying at anytime here in Northern Illinois. Gary
