Hi all, Hopefully will get my new/2nd hand diff centre today or tomorrow. Am wondering about sealant between the diff carrier and the axle housing. Is there a specific product I should use or do you guys have any preferences for other products.

No "backyard patch ups" using liquid nails please. LOL :wink:

X 2... Grey silicone sealant made for aluminium.. Works great and is easy to clean off if need be.

ThreeBond sounds like it may get the nod. Thanks for all the suggestions.
Will I find ThreeBond at auto parts shops?

U should. If not the Ultra rang is very good for the $$`s, blue is sensor safe to.

Post subject:  Re: Diff centre - Sealant between carrier and housing

whist on the subject anyone have any good tips of getting the carrier out when caked in sealant?

Author:  Scrawny [ Thu Sep 03, 2009 4:56 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Diff centre - Sealant between carrier and housing

Encouragement with a soft hammer. Otherwise try a flat blade screwdriver and hammer between housing and carrier.

Put a jack under the flange and jack it up slightly. It will crack the seal, just be careful it doesn't come out at the same time.

Just in case, have you pulled the axles?

tried that Damo. the whole kaboodle twists without the "A" arm attached.
next step is to get someone to hold a block of 4x2 against it while I give it a good belt.
if that fails ,remove the entire diff assembly and then I can persuade it more forcefully.

Step 1 If at first you don`t succeed, get a bigger hammer.
Step 2 See step 1
Step 3 See step 2
