Diff Questions

[SenorCole86]

Ya, just spent the last hour or so cleaning the 25 year old gasket off of my dana 30. I used various tools including a box cutter, a chisel, various scwredroivers, and my fingernails. And, for y'alls information, the steering box does not make a very comfortable pillow. Well, y'all may think I'm a pansy for asking this, but I donot want to repeat this process on the rear diff, any tricks for getting these stinking gaskets off?

Also, does the AMC 20 with trac-lock require a special additive in its oil?

When I worked at the Honda Shop our Tech always used a singlr sided razor blade (no holder) he could have any gasket off in a matter of minutes. Then used an air sander with VERY high grit sandpaper to touch it up..VERY VERY FINE paper!

Air die grinder with the scotch pads.

Air die grinder with the scotch pads.

I usually use one of those, or a metal putty knife that I sharpened real good so it's nice and sharp.

Bounty and 88 hit the nail on the head....LBR

i say a sharp putty knife and a razor... you can also use some gasket remover

Alright, good deal, what about that rear diff oil additive?

If you have trac-lock you need it.

RE: catalytic converter question

yeah if you have traclock... head to autozone and get some traclock additive... its like 3 or 4 bucks

RE: Non-Jeep question, bu trying to help a friend

Most quality gear lube(sta-lube--purple lable) already has the additive in it, look for that. Might save some $$$
