2) I have used a whole world of black grease on the thrust, and then again a load of clear grease in the diff.
3) Ran the diff in at low speed (for around 5-8 mins) and slowly tightened it up till it was as tight
I have kept everything standard, so no ceramic balls! But after all that the diff feels good on the bench, but the test will be after the first practice on Sunday. Just thought I would share this and hope the info comes in handy... will report back after sunday to let you guys know if the diff held up better than before  |
As I said I would report back on this... the diff held up and remained smooth throughout the day. A definite improvement on the previous week where the diff had gritted up after 1 run. Only thing I would say if that the diff feels tight in action rather than free like those running with the ceramic balls. But for those that aren't going the ceramic ball route this worked to good effect
