This was the heaviest project I have done so far. I needed some help getting it back together again because of this. Firstly I tested the clutch plate slip. They were under spec and needed changing. I then drained the black diff oil out and started to remove the rear attachments. The speed sensor, rear bolts and rear casing itself then came off. Then I pulled out the side flanges with a bit of persuasion and impacted the side bolts off, again with a bit of persuasion. It was then a matter of lifting the LSD unit out of the casing. The pinion gear was next. The 30mm nut required a low profile socket so one was made on the lathe. The gear then took a lot of whacking to get out. I then set about removing the main seal with a lot of force. Once out, I could then remove the pinion bearing.
Once most of the internal components were out I de-greased the main parts. I then did my best to remove most of the super thick rust from the main casing. I also remove the old mount from the rear cover. Then I blast everything. The main case needed more hammer and chiseling as the glass would just bounce off. Once all the rust was gone, it was time to paint. Etch, wet on wet, and base coat were added to make the outer parts look new again. Then the smaller metal pieces were de-rusted and polished.
I wanted to replace as many parts as possible for this restoration. The bearings, seals, bolts, gasket, oil, and O-rings were all sourced from bearingkits.co.uk and BMW. Once everything was dry, cleaned and ready. Me and a friend set about taking apart and rebuilding the LSD itself. This involved the punching, pushing and pulling of bearings and racers. Once the pinion bearing was back in, and tight. It was time to test the preload of the gear. This was achieved by a special tool created by www.preloadrr.com/. Once set to the correct resistance. It was time to reattach the LSD and side flanges. I could then test and adjust the backlash using yellow paint.
I then cleaned up the gasket face and applied some RTV gasket sealant. Once smoothed down I could then apply the paper gasket and have it be held in place by the RTV whilst I attach the rear cover. The speed sensor, drain plugs, bolts and ID tag all went back on before I filled the diff with brand new diff oil. The restoration was then complete. This restoration took 1 week, was a lot of fun and a massive learning experience.

I've gotten pretty obsessed with youtube restoration videos over the past couple months. One thing that makes your content stand out from the rest is your editing. You do a great job of compressing the tedious, uninteresting stuff and maintain a really good rhythm throughout. Another great resto - keep em coming!
You better do the whole car!
Really cool to see two great creators interacting.
HTR hounding RI like a shop foreman! ;-)
You should make an evaporust pond for further use.
it may not fit on his bench :P
And you better get cracking on a new upload, HTR. It's been almost 3 bloody weeks. I feel so ignored, I've started seeing other restorers.
Proof that not everything has to be thrown out or replaced, rather with enough patience it can be restored to what it was originally. Great video and great job restoring that diff :)
Well said thank you, rallysport!
Yeah but it is a fucking pain in the ass if you have never done it before, can not find any shop manuals on how to do it and do not own some of the tools needed. So just get a diff from a car that has been totaled and you're good to go within 2 hours.
Tow Hee Some people like to spend 8 hours per day watching tv, others like to learn new stuff and achieve something.
Doesnt seem like they are "learning" anything tho. @@Your_username_
How to recognise you:
1- the working table
2- black plastic gloves
3- the little smiling tattoo
4- the edition
5- the attention you put on details
... miracle? Can be but, I'd call it talent.
BRILLIANT.
Haha thank you Mg Mg thats very kind of you :D glad you enjoy them
I love videos without talking or music.
It's rare without loud music or a guy talk for 2min before you see what you want
This. If I want music, I can just put something on
The man who does not only love his job, but also shares his love with others. I believe this is a whole new level of professionalism.
Indeed!
A pleasure to watch a younger person using the right tools & knows what they are doing. I look forward to seeing the finished car. Well done.
I love videos like this that show everything in great detail, without stupid commentary or music.
I cannot believe the amount of self motivation and patience that this guy has. Insane.
Not to mention his toolpark.
I have no idea what I’m looking at but I find it satisfying
It's the part that changes lateral speed between the wheels in order to make the car turn better!
Why do you have a Mitsubishi logo if you don't know what a LSD is?
NEGATRON MAD
all I know is that my car doesn't have limited slip because I dug ruts in the yard playing around today and there was only one row, but it looks like the right axle is dominant, so all is good.
Dont even know how i get here , but aprove that its satisfying
Dont understand why people dislike it, i really like this type of videos I put full attention on them and just enjoy the work.
2 Words:
*_Passion_* and *_Patience_*
*AWESOME WORK!* 👍
Oh Boy, Oh Boy.
I was watching and thinking: I lived in Stuttgart - DE and, there's a huge Mercedes Benz Museum there ... you should apply for a job there. A perfect combination: your talent + motivation + capacity, in a place where people respect it.
Once again, APPLAUSE 👏👏👏👏👏
If I ever get the money to open a restoration garage you're the first person I'm hiring.
Increíble trabajo saludos desde León Guanajuato México 🇲🇽

Qué onda prro
In my opinion this is the you tube video of the year, fantastic
A video I can watch at the library without annoying anyone. Very educational and relaxing
They get funny in my library when I watch porn
Get back to studying and doing your mid term assignment you naughty procrastinator!
you can watch any video at the library if you have headphones on :P
K
yea right relaxing got a wife ja ja aj aj
Mint! Can't wait to see more of the E30 build. I hope you are doing the whole car. Awesome use of the lathe to machine your own tool.
I loved the details .. awesome dude . I know a lot of effort and time went into this .. appreciate this .
Thank you Kido!
BMW golden days! Nice job mate!
there is something about your job that tells me you love what you do. i enjoy your videos. thanks so much. watching from South Africa
Nice work!A small tip for a tool that can be useful in the future would be an air needle hammer, or "scaler". It is not expensive, and it really quickens up cleaning flaking, scaly rust in hard to reach places before glass bead blasting.
Love your channel. It really shows that with a little time, effort, tools, and know how, anything can be brought back from trash status.
a little? massive amounts of time and effort, thousands in equipment, a huge amount of knowledge...
4:59 when you’re sitting on the toilet after KFC
More like 1:11 for me
XD laughed so hard
Lol
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
LMAO
That is a serious lump of metal.
Awesome restoration as always!
Hi
I have big problems with my car
Mercedes-Benz E320 1999
I spent a lot of money and no body fix it
Japan import
When i drive my car in straight away from120 km and more the car goes right and left i loose control and i should return back the steering wheel opposite direction to keeping on straight and these problem happen when any car come beside my car at any side left or right
Or if any winds in the weather
Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee help me
Yeah they are. I estimate this assembly weights about 80 lbs. I swapped in a higher ratio and repaired this same part on my e30 several times. It brings me back to the good ole' days.
i know, it's like Germans make cars like scaled down tank's but everyone else make ramped up go-karts. i got a 2001 1.9tdi 220bhp passat getting a 330cd next month, e46 respectively lol.
The best 21min of my time today!!
Yo vine al baño, solo para que no me molestaran mientras lo veia
Totally agree
Базаришь...
Nothing but respect for this project, this seemed like a fairly big project, subbed
Almost an archaeological work on the differential housing! Beautiful restoration, with care and attention! Congrats.
From Brazil
I'm always amazed how quality manufacturing can hold up over time.
My mechanic had an old 1960's Merc with 180k miles on it, he stripped it down and it still had the hone marks on the bores, you never regret buying quality
it would be nice to see a restoration of a transmission, your works looks really nice
,
... When that dodgy differential comes in the post from eBay and you suddenly remember that amazing restoration video you saw a while back 😊 think I'll paint it bright orange though, to match the rust that's been removed.
Lovely refurbishment. Very satisfying to see all the crud being removed, everything cleaned, painted and new bearings and plates fitted. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Sean!
I enjoyed absolutely all of that, especially the bonus lathing!
That hammer in fast forward gets me every time. Subbed!
.
Sweet meaty Jesus I've seen a cleaner diff come off of a car that sat on the bottom of a lake for 30 years. I'm not kidding. It's amazing how clean the gears and carriers and bearings were!
Amazing work as always! It's wonderful to see old parts that other people would just throw away be saved. You're single handedly keeping the spare parts pool bigger for everyone in the e30 community, bravo!
I still watch this because it's still amazing. This is a great love story between a man and his car. I wish I could restore some of my favorite cars like this.
Fantastic job as always, well done sir!
Probably the most difficult of his vids. Great Stuff!
I like the BMW restorations. You should restore the car at some point. Have the videos in parts.
I was just gonna coment if he was restoring a BMW as well lol.
Mais uma restauração de verdade. Limpeza e pintura perfeitas. Excelente serviço. Parabéns!
You have my respect as a subscriber. Awesome! Amazing skills, patience, and talent. Thanks, I really enjoyed the show and looking forward to more!
Excellent!! I was watching with pleasure
I enjoy watching restoration projects. Bringing back good quality products that just need that someone. Great job bro!
The best restoration so far among a lot of restoration videos, thanks for the great efforts.
That is really amazing to be able to take your knowledge and skill and restore something like this. I am really impressed! Would love to do this kind of work in another life.
Another amazing restoration from you my friend, was really pumped to see another upload for the E30 Restoration. If this high standard of work that you've been carry out continues, I doubt that they'll be a cleaner and nicer example of an E30 out there.
I absolutely love all of your videos, but i love the bmw e30 ones, keep it up. I own an e30 and I did a lot of the same stuff. I cant wait to see the whole car
This is by far one of my favorite episodes.
Rebuilding a diff is pretty hardcore dude. Respect!
Hyped everytime I see you restore car parts! More of these please!
Restore It Good to hear!
Other than the surface corrosion for a lsd that’s 30-40yrs old it wasn’t that bad inside.
Fantastic job on the refurbishment it will now last another 40👍🏼😁
I like those people who’s doing rather than talking 👍🏼👍🏼
I'm speachless, just WOW. Great job !!
About the tool sounds. I really like the sped up bits of the tool sounds (perhaps a little ASMR-feel to it) and it is a nice touch to hear the occasional normal speed video to hear the actual tool sounds. A few seconds of the normal speed video is just the right amount to hear the ambient or tool sounds. Making the whole video with normal speed would drag the flow of the work in progress. Looking forward for more Restore It.
Another great job and interesting video - it takes talent to get them both right. Keep up the good work. 👍
Just a pointer on applying RTV as a gasket... make sure you put the sealant bead on the inboard side of the bolts, so that the oil won’t leak out through the bolt’s threads.
Могу сказать только вот что:
У меня нет столько денег, оборудования и времени на всё это, хотя очень хотелось бы!, но твои видосы смотрю с удовольствием!
Т.к. сам - перфекционист! И получаю колоссальное удовольствие, во время просмотра, от твоей работы!
Чел - ты супер!
Спасибо!
A tip to make your projects alot easier in the future is to invest in a dustless blaster. (Greetings from SWEDEN 👍👍👍)
I second the request from this noble man, what exactly is a dustless blaster?
OlderSpud search it on youtube
william III search it on youtube dustless blaster
Kevin Zilverberg are you swedish you have a swedish name
Kevin Zilverberg ok
Glad you remember where everything goes!!
Nice! Excellent work! I really enjoy watching old stuff restored.
I would love to have this guy work on my car --ur work is amazing bro
Hi There !! am really hooked on 'ure outstanding work. it's hard @ times to find your work. Only way I mite see you is with the little bin boxes on the table there.. So enjoy your work.
I hope its a series where you slowly restore EACH parts for a that would completely build a certain car. That would be fcking awesome.
@@justotalkalottashit8392 shut
Loved this one!!
Definately more Chipmunks sound too!!
I was literally relieved when you finally put the case in the sand blaster. So nasty.
This is amazingly satisfying to watch. Good job, dude.
I can't wait to see the whole car!
You don’t post often but when you it’s quality keep it like that
Altissimo livello. Serietà e professionalità anglosassone.
Fantastic restoration. Really liking your videos of that E30 rebuild.
I watch videos frequently in Korea.
In Korea, people who are as talented as you are called "gold hand".
박대리's 리얼라이프Click in Azerbaijan too :)
you're a legend, man! .. your videos are so satisfying.
Thank you for not adding an useless boring music. Amazing job
Uauu..Beautiful,magnific!!Saudações do Brasil
a master at work
Good job, im proud of your archievements! Next video, maybe the engine restoration? You already did the valve cover 😁
Excited to see a finished car by you. What you did here requires a lot of equipment and a lot of money. Impressive.
I like how the piece that was smashed up to get it out, is included in the layout.
well done mate, i like the high speed working of youre videos, then it is not so boring to watch . Please more videos like this. Greets from Germany
Looks like a Titanic artifact at the beginning lol loving these E30 restorations! More BMW projects! :)
😙😙😙😙😚😙😙😙😙😙😙😙😙😗😘😚😙😘😗
Not sure how I ended up here. I have no use for this right now, but I watched the entire thing because it was SO satisfying. Well done!!
It is a pleasure to watch your videos.
Well done!
if the car is as good I must be real sweet when do we get to see it dude fabulous restore as usual
i think we are all stoked about when we will see the e30 were all these parts belong to and which parts you will restore next :D keep the fantastic work up
Oh wow! You are the man! I wouldn't know what to do, but I would love to do that do my car. Amazing job man!
Thank you. A hug from Brazil.
talented man
Restoring the E30, one piece at a time oh yeah!
Wow, I took one look at this LSD at the beginning and thought it was a lost cause. Amazing work!!
I can't believe how many pieces are involved for 20 year old differential. just so you can have little part of the car and much Moore engineering.
Great job thanks for sharing
This is so satisfying and inspiring, love your work man hope you can do more of these videos. Greetings from Mexico.
That is pure mechanical asmr... excellent work! Your videos are some of the few that I don't skip forward.. xD
This video is the absolute best I have seen. thanks so much!
Mega Like , really Professional
You forgot "anything but"
Awesome video...gives me motivation to tackle my projects!
برنامج صباياالخير
It would be so sick to see you do a whole e30! Great video as always!
ThatCarGuy i would love to see that!!
Been there, done it. It's actually easier to do stuff like this than most people think.
Вот это я понимаю, люди знают и любят свое дело. Браво!!!
This BMW will look sick
This is awesome! Would love to see more of the E30 :)
Nice work!!
Good for another 30years on the road 😀👍👌
