    I wouldn't weld a washer on it, I'd plate it with some nice thick steel and it ain't gonna happen again

      It'd quite easy, for a fabricater/welder to remove that spot welded plate. I'd also put a thick plate on the other of the Chassis rail👍
      Whilst your at it, do the other side you'll regret later😅

    That diff yoke you took off will have a bearing tolerance so don't just impact the nut back on when the new seal comes... you will wear the pinion bearing out of its too tight

    I'd deffo be getting a plate in there, washer will be done by the first drift day.
    Might be better getting the plate put on the other side so the arm can still fit back in.

    @garymcloughlin500 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Best way to deal with them clips is find a socket that fits snug over spring collar to push them in and pull the cable out from the other side.
    Also that diff looked like it had way to much back lash so its more than likely been wearing out the pinion and ring gear under harsh acceleration, This would also put strain on the pinion bearing, the movement in the bearing will strecth the pinion seal rubber causing the leak. I would get it all checked for peace of mind. Other wise you will just be blowing through seals like crazy.

  • @barricadeish
    @barricadeish ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I would bracket all 4 sides while you have the opportunity,also diff seal their should be a number on th seal which are universal descriptions
    You can then order them from i places like simply bearings or Cole Palmer. Brilliant video by the way😵‍💫😈😊

  • @matthewroxy3528
    @matthewroxy3528 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think the best solution is to make a sleeve through the holes, a washer is a good idea, but the welding can make rust and weaken the frame if you do a sleeve through the hole just like the bush has leaf going through it that’s it. Do the job for you

    I think it’s time to invest in a mobile car lift / car scissor lift they would be perfect for you with the limited space you have and I don’t no if your aware but you can get rollout awnings that would fit perfect above the garage door 😂 . Great content tho reminds me of when I was 17 😱

  • @Wozi2001
    @Wozi2001 ปีที่แล้ว

    You’ll need a new diff mate if I remeber the damages to the crown wheel when you had it welded looks like the bearings had it causing that damage and that will have caused the seal to leak, a new seal will only fix it temporarily

    Im sure it shouldn’t be resting on the threads of the bolt- thats why it has a shoulder. Get better bolts
