Differential fluid change

[crazyg0at]

Im doing a differential fluid change and im making a gasket out of RTV silicone. Im not sure if i should let it dry or not before i put the differential cover on. Ive heard both put it on wet and dry and im not sure which i should do.

Install wet, it tells you on the tube. I use a combination of RTV and paper gasket and it makes a really good seal.

First off i recommend a gasket with a little silicone on both sides. I did mine late on a sunday and was forced to use silicone. I put it on both the cover and diff, i let it sit for about 10 mines while i cleaned up and took a quick break. I put it together and allowed it to sit over night, then added the oil and so far a few months down the road no leaks [img]smile.gif[/img] .
