Jason Plato Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Morning All ......... How do you remove the breather from the diff casing ?? , is it on a thread ?? .

Mike Bees Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 > How do you remove the breather from the diff casing ?? , is it on a thread ?? . It's just an interference fit - i.e. it's hammered in. > Whats the best way to check the oil level and top up ??. Remove the filler plug in the back plate and tip oil in until it trickles out. > What fluid is reccomended ?? I use Redline 75W90, but any EP?0 (where ? is 8 or 9 - can't remember which) will do.

Alex Wong1697456877 Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 When you fit the new one, it should be fitted with the opening facing away from the diff. I didn't kow this and wondered why my diff breathed so heavily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted April 29, 2002 Author Share Posted April 29, 2002 Cheers for the rapid response ( as always !!) . I am a little confused by your comment Alex - my breather simply protrudes from the top of the diff , is there a modified one now ?? I run a long length of pipe up and around about 36" long which then enters a catch tank . The diff does breath quite heavily though on track .

Paul Turner Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 There is a V cut in the breather that lines up with a mark on the casing. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
