I reviewed several past posts from years back and saw a mention of the entire innerds coming out, but it wasn't clear what was taken loose to make that happen. All I want to do is remove the axles, take off the cover plate and clean the inside out to get rid of all the sand I mentioned in a previous post. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 769 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 769 | There are not going to be any loose parts in your differential; unless something is broken, just 50 year old GO-90. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | Just some very smelly hypoid oil!  P.S Wear latex gloves! It stinks!  Jock. P.S Gear oil can also cause dermatitus.And Tiny's right, nitrile gloves are better. I use them in my own job DUH!
