water in front diff

Post by to_easy »

I had a look and ive got water in the front diff and housing. What the best way to flush out the front diff and housing out. and what would be the best stuff to clean it out with. i havent got oil comming out of the swivel hubs, so the oil seals are still ok on the front axles. i cant work out how the water got in there . my diff breather are up near the bonnet and they are bent over to stop water getting in.

don't ask silly questions the water magicaly appears like in my front diff. shits ya hey i think the water can get past your seals, if you do a lot of water work its worth checking i think it is hot diff /cold water and it suck past the seals I THINK, Iwould just drain it get some cheap oil and fill it up go for a quick drive and drain it and put some new stuff in, it should flush it. Reacon that would be the easy way and a pretty quick way.

Make sure you check the breather is clear so it should suck any air through that rather than the seals.....also make sure it is connected properly......mine had a split hose....
