  3. ive done it on my front diff make sure and clean everydrop out of the diff ass it warms up and gets in the welding area , make sure u spend alot of time cleaning up the surface and the new diff as its coated in a thick black paint , then i cleaned a very good earth then started , i got it all in the right place then tacked at 12 , 3 , 6 , 9 , then i welded about 1" then moved to opposite are then welded and do it like that as i noticed that the heat was very quick distorting the pan, also leave in the filler plug to hold the shape
  4. n reg disco at work ends in bsl so thats basil my work 90 is called the brokelbunk mobile ,cause my nick name is brokel our 51 disco commercial is called the *gd yin*
  5. diff bassically allows the wheels to move a different speeds so that u are dragging the wheel around the corner if u jack up one side of the car of the ground and put in first the wheels will spin anf th other wont move at all hence the saying give power to the least resistance , the transfer box is mainly only used for high and low ratio with the locking option so if u lock the diff u are giving equal and constant power to both wheels helps if u have one wheel of the ground trying to get traction , ie if u had no diff lock and had the front left anf rear right wheel of the ground u aint going no where but with diff lock u can have the wheels on the ground in the same situation driving

  12. i always think that they sound like their "farting" in a diesel they never sound right
  13. wall drive just does what it say it works of the wall instead of the corners like most even try the opened end but i use my snap on brake pipe spanners which are open end but slightly thicker and has a longer leverage allowing u to keep equal progressive pressure on it and i have had no bother with even the worst
