Hey gang,
I have a Diff Brain Nero which started making some noise in a couple of the diffs. After tearing it down and verifying that the servos were good, I realized that the differentials themselves were not turning smoothly. Making a bit of a grinding sound. There was some side to side play of the output shafts, and upon tear down, I realized that the o-rings (AR716014) were nowhere to be found. I'm assuming they disintegrated based on what I saw. This was allowing the side to side play I mentioned. So I ordered some new parts and will be rebuilding soon.
I'm looking for any tips to make these diffs a bit more durable as they were not that old. I noticed there was not that much grease, which might have played into the premature failure.
Other that rebuilding with the specified amount of grease (manual shows filling to about 2mm below the top?) any other thoughts?
Thanks!
