Re: Lubelocker differential gaskets.. Used one?
I was thinking of going with those gaskets as my rear diff seal has started
leaking AGAIN. And I know I got a good seal... the only way I seem to be
able to get ALL of the old RTV off is with a wire wheel and a drill. The
chemicals never quite work and a putty knife doesn't either...
How do you get it off?

Re: Lubelocker differential gaskets.. Used one?
Hi Eric,
When I think, "Room Temperature Vulcanizing" I think Permatex
silicone, which never hardens. I haven't seen anything that I had to
chip off since the fifties, black stuff we brushed on. Usually if it
doesn't pull off like a rubber band, I slide a paint scraper sideways
and it just peels off: http://www.----------.com/scraper.jpg then plane
it with a file.

Re: Lubelocker differential gaskets.. Used one?
I have good luck with a one edge razor blade, then I finish up with a
wire wheel on a drill. :-) I prefer the brass wire wheel because it
doesn't scratch the steel.

Re: Lubelocker differential gaskets.. Used one?
Maybe that's my problem.. I didn't use a brass wire wheel the first time I
did it and scratched the steel. Both surfaces were shiny as new though...
