I’ve never had an issue using brake cleaner. Are you allowing the parts to soak for a considerable amount of time? 30-45 minutes?
You got any extra? Been looking to put some I'm my father's 240sxI just boil mine in jet fuel in a pressure cooker
How long do you soak them for? I just cleaned some 500k grey sludge off mine in naphtha and I might not have let them soak long enough. Maybe 5 mins? Still had to use a brush to physically clean the gears.Once I found out naptha dilutes the silicone oil in diffs a year or so ago, rebuilding diffs became so much easier. Now I just pull the guts of the diff, put 1/4 cup or so of naptha in a small container, then drop the parts in it and let them soak a bit. Then I stir them around with a toothbrush and scrub if necessary. Drop the pieces on a paper towel which wicks away most of the diluted oil then a few puffs of canned air and they are ready to put back in.
I'm not sure, wasn't like an hour or anything. Probably around 10 minutes. I washed the grease off the outside with soap/water and a toothbrush in the sink, then dried it and took it apart on my bench. I let it soak while I was digging in my parts trying to find my broken diff bag and to find replalement pins and larger sun gear.How long do you soak them for?
