Installing a Differential for Differential Leak Repair

Video Transcript

Hi, I'm Doug. I work with twenty great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and were going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Re-installation is just reverse of taking it apart. Everything is nice and clean now, he's got the wet silicone in there. We don't let it dry real long or anything, we just get it in there as soon as you can. You don't want to beat up the silicone too much and remove any sealing ability there. So he slides it in on the studs, beds it in to the silicone. If your trying to do this on your back in the driveway it's a little bit more trouble to do a neat job, but the original fit there actually didn't have any sealer in it. Somebody just didn't follow through on their word carefully enough. So that's why we're in here in the first place. So if your doing the work yourself make sure you do it really clean so you don't end up having to redo anything. You wouldn't want to take a hammer and beat on this thing to hard, but the studs are pretty snug and you can see there those are lock nuts on this. So when he's all done he wipes up his tracks and washes it down so there's no residual ugly silicone.
