Caulking the Axle Housing for Differential Leak Repair

Hi, I'm Doug. I work with twenty 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. This was a pretty easy job to clean up, there wasn't any residual gasket material as if someone forget when they put it together. So Dan's using a good quality RTV silicone, room temperature vulcanizing silicone. He's being really careful to keep a good continuous bead and circle each stud before it all goes together. Always buy the most expensive silicone, the amount of trouble you're going to spend redoing gaskets is far out weighed by the cost savings you'll have if you buy cheap silicone. The better quality silicone is easier to work worth, its sticks better, it looks better, it smells better. Now he's going around the other side of all the studs.
