Kraton Just a bit of loctite

[Grasshopper72]

So I've read in several threads about the copious amounts of threadlock being used on the 6s line. Guess I had my first encounter while rebuilding my diffs. In the end I got them apart. I was too determined to let the car win.

Oh and I found out that parts get super hot when heating them over the stove.?‍

I got the grub out ok but getting the f%%^&^$#%^ pinion out was another story!

You need a punch most of the time.

You gotta heat the cup with a torch or something and use a punch to drive the pinion into the housing. They can be a real bear!!

@Grasshopper72 You should come down for ramp day tomorrow!! I posted about it in the MN thread.

I used the something. The stove...lol Just was super careful not to warm the housing to much and warp it. I thought about getting one of those little butane torches but not sure it'll "pack enough punch".

I see a lot of guys using the little butane torches, or soldering irons.

I use a torch from Harbor Freight and it works very well. Also a 40w soldering tool works if I leave it sit for a while on the culprit screw.
