Cleaning Tips: Differential Leak Repair

Hi, I'm Doug. I work with 20 great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. He's going to start by cleaning up everything. Getting all of the lube out of there. When we go to clean up the gasket surface it's going to sling a little bit of stuff around and if you start with a good rinsed off surface then the gear lube won't hold the dirt inside the rear end. The spray he's using is just brake clean. We buy it by the case. It dries easy and it's a real good, aggressive cleaner. So spray it on there and wipe it off. It doesn't leave any kind of a residue or anything. And you could even clean the floor with it.
