Thread: 9 inch lube drip from nut

Tweet

These washers looked like brass. Plus, the diameter (O.D.) wasn't much more than the hole it was going around. I'll get some new wider ones and do the silicone trick you guys suggested....Still though, do I stay with the 45 ft lb that John's says? Thanks

I believe the originals are aluminum while the Currie version are brass - and quite hard. They don't seem to deform much at all. If you have ever pulled an original Ford differential out of the housing, the washers usually have to be pried loose and sometimes even have to be unscrewed. I just looked at mine - and there is one @#$% drip on one stud but nothing on the floor.

I know, don't it just peeve ya off when dink stuff happens ? Thats the way I am right now. It's one of those "Mad enough to cuss, but not mad enought to throw crap" situations.
