elbekko Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 What do you people do to those flanges to make them so tight? Perhaps some copper grease wouldn't be a bad idea upon refit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ian Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Hi I think you mis-understand the problem, its no problem to get the flange of, its the plug or centralising spigot thats the problem. It must be firmly held in place press fit or loctite or it could work loose as you drive along, then one unholy bang. regards Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's held in place by the bushing in the driveshaft that goes through the douhgnut, is it not? Or am I remembering it incorrectly? I still find it strange that I've never encountered a particularly difficult one, although I've heard the stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaDi90Hybrid Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Interesting method using exploding duck oil to remove it but do you think it was a wise move telling Nige with his reputation! Wouldn't be much good if the diff was still in the vehicle though, that high velocity lump could cause some expensive holes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
