Arron uk Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Hey guy I am changing the oil in my diffs for the first time, I have done the centre but when it comes to the rear the diff is in a housing with a gear that connects to the shaft do I need to put normal grease on that? And then obviously my oil in the diff? Thanks sorry I have looked on line but what I'm typing only bring up inside the diff it's self ??♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jea Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) yes put some grease on the crown and pinion gears if there fully in closed .. Edited January 9, 2019 by jea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arron uk Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 ok thank you. its not fully enclosed there is a square cut out at the bottom but that sits against the chassis and after removal it is cleanish i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Where it bolts against the chassis, it will hold hte grease just fine when tightened down. I use CV grease in there on all my cars. You want a high melting point grease. It will help reduce wear on the crown and pinion gears as well as running quieter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arron uk Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Another question ?. So I have stripped both my centre and rear diff and in both cases both had washers over the orings on either end. But in the manual it shows on the centre both washers over the one oring none over the other so I did that. But with the rear and front it shows 0 washers not the big ones anyway so am I supposed to put these washers in or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
