I chose to pop the diff out again, since the leak was not good and I remmeber that my logic wasn’t sound when I was working out whether I needed to put a gasket on. The logic I used was to check that the new diff didn’t have one, or something like that. Either way, the one I’d removed still had the gasket on it.. so off it came and no gasket went back on. I am not in two minds as to whether or not to re-fit the open diff then have to go through this yet again or wait for the locker part to arrive and then just re-assmeble it all once. The photop below is showing the brand NEW gasket…
I was pretty surprised by the colour of the oil, that was only in there for a week and I only did about 5 miles. So I guess it’s served to clean/wash the inside of the axle.
