The Red Line Oil and Lube Locker gasket were given to me free of charge by the companies. But, they did not have any input into the making of this video or my review of them. Yes, these are products I actually believe in and have served me well!

Cheers for such a great video! Really helped me out. I found a little trick to releasing the cover when rtv has been used. If you remove all the bolts, you can then put the wrench in the filler hole and turn. It'll just turn the cover right off. So no need for chiseling :)

@raymondrodriguez5068 2 года назад

This was not only instructional, it was fun viewing it as well!😊

@captpat02 Год назад

You have some of the best instructional videos on here.

@kevinkunis6794 4 года назад

Love your videos . Dale ! - but a chisel ? Try a painter’s 5-in 1 tool - it’s wide , it’s beveled , and if it’s a quality one piece with the blade extending thru the handle , a hammer can be used to send it home - works like a charm & it won’t mar the surfaces - just sayin’

@steveschwartz6138 Год назад

if you have to use a chisel to remove the cover, try using it on the top. That way if you do damage the surface it wont leak as much (hopefully).

@nickconrad94 5 лет назад

Hey Jeep solid- one idea to get the cover off is to use a bottle jack and a block of wood to push up on the cover to sort of sheer the RTV off. if it won't come off with just the jack, once quite a bit of weight is on it go ahead and give it a few swift blows with a mallet & off it will come. This is a fast superior way in my opinion as it almost completely eliminates the possibility of damaging your housing. Love the YJ!

@JeepSolid 5 лет назад

Huh... That's a great idea, never tried that, but will in the future when faced with the same issue.

@glenhenning9261 5 месяцев назад

Excellent! And I will be using those gaskets on my cj5 for sure.

@BrandonHaneline 5 лет назад

Keep up the good work bro!!

@JeepSolid 5 лет назад

Thanks man! We should colab soon!

@michaelofficer1331 5 лет назад

Nice work! I recently did this to my TJ, but decided to implement a small bottle jack to loosen the cover. It worked pretty well.

@JeepSolid 5 лет назад

Humm... didn't think of that. Good idea!

@camcordernonsense5264 4 года назад

Sounds like that obvious approach you've done before but don't think of it at the time. I've used bottle Jack's for all sorts of weird fixes and saves. Don't think it would've crossed my mind. Nice.

@robburnquist 2 года назад

Hey Dale! Such great info every time! Always my favorite go-to Jeep page. Question...are steering knuckles interchangeable on Dana 30s? Like updating a two-piece 1989 to a solid 1990 version?

@gregj.gotham4402 Год назад

Aways use a putty knife I never use a chisel. Love that coffee cup motor oil very nice cup. Super nice looking gasket when I do my XJ diffs I’ll make sure to buy those gaskets. Great job. I’m going to buy lub-locker gaskets so I have them here and I’ll get the diff fluid too. Thanks for the heads up on gaskets and fluid.

@your2nd 3 года назад

Dale , I use a putty knife (good grade) just tap it in easy and it does the job and nothing damaged. Regards William

@tylerdubois9020 3 года назад

Hey JeepSolid, Have you taken the diff cover off again and did you re-use the gasket? Considering purchasing these for my WJ, but want to know if they are reusable or if they leak after the first use. Thanks, Tyler

@arielgs 4 года назад

Great video!!! Helpfull and clear!

@JeepSolid 4 года назад

Thanks

@ahmadkamali8547 2 года назад

Hi Does the tags or the diff covers say something about specification of the gear oils which category, types, numbers are used in there

@doalex2085 3 года назад

I’m looking for a good torque wrench did not see in description what you used?

@ronyvilleda9292 5 лет назад

Excellent job brother

@JeepSolid 5 лет назад

Thanks!

@noahgreen1366 3 года назад

What type of brush did you use on the end of your drill to clean the mating surface?

@joelafleur6423 2 года назад

Good vid, I like to see others methods and techniques. Only thing I might say/recommend would be,if. Unfortunately the rubber mallet doesn't work. And the chisel or slotted screwdriver is the last resort. To try to break the seal from the top. Or if the center bolt is loose and still in, try to break the cover seal off from the higher side (above the fluid level.) In case one were or might scratch or dent the surface area. It would reduce chances of leaking. Especially if you reused the old cover.

@rockyeasterline348 4 года назад

I have a 93 YJ with a 4.0 5 speed I used to be a mechanic but only use ratchets to break something loose nowadays I always use my hammer drill battery-powered for everything 10 times faster Ex Gasser drag racer ex-pro boxer founder of boxing vs UFC and best fight predictor of all times Rocky Esterline just changed my oil today April 17th 2020 but will do my transmission and transfer case and both differentials real soon just checked them today they are full and nice and clean LOL

@schileyrhoden7704 Год назад

Dale, how did the lube locker gasket hold up over the long run?

@rockyeasterline348 4 года назад

Also if I'm using a chisel or screwdriver on that differential I would do it up high so it will not leak later if it did leak

@ahmadkamali8547 2 года назад

Your demonstration for removing the diff cover is self proof that agood quality RTV is much much better n solid then paper gaskets against mud, water n vibrations

@leesire 3 года назад

Does this need to be done on all vehicles ?

@doublesix36 Год назад

I am also doing my Dana 35 rear, An Amazon seller sent me the gasket folded. Wouldn't that compromise the integrity of the gasket?

@richardlynch329 3 года назад

@3:25 did you put a dent in the differential cover?

@gerardobailon7209 5 лет назад

muy buen vídeo está chingon felicidades bien explicado

@JeepSolid 5 лет назад

Gracias

@jwilson6086 5 лет назад

Great video and I'm definitely getting those gaskets when I change my fluid soon. Dale you need to look into a silicone wedding band. I wear one for work and anytime I'm getting dirty. Save you from damaging your nice ring.

@JeepSolid 5 лет назад

That's a good idea!

@ericbowers71 4 года назад

You can use a jack on the face of the diff cover to break it loose.

@lorenzomunoz325 5 лет назад

That oil didn’t look bad at all

@JeepSolid 5 лет назад

Yeah!! I was a little surprised how good it looked coming out too. It was also Red Lines 75w90. Held up really well.

@lorenzomunoz325 5 лет назад

JeepSolid I enjoy your videos brotha, keep up the good work! 👍

@Wongburger 4 года назад

Your drag link at the pitman arm ball joint doesn't look tight enough, the rubber isn't compressed enough to "balloon out"? Or maybe it's something I don't know about. Are you getting any wobbles?

@JeepSolid 4 года назад

No wobble, but probably worn out

@ec6933 5 лет назад

No way!!!! I just bought that same rachet at home Depot yesterday even though I didn't need it cuz I hadn't bought anything else and didn't wanna waste the trip lol! I was having serious buyers remorse at $25 but maybe I'll love it too!

@JeepSolid 5 лет назад

You won't be sorry. It's pretty much my go to ratchet now.

@bartgoins1782 Год назад

FYI, this is what you get with the Amazon link for the socket wrench: Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.

@brianwilliams8362 3 года назад

But Dale always told us to remove the fill plug first?

@carlomassimo8887 4 года назад

I use the RED LINE 75W -90 GEAR OIL FOR BOTH DANA 35 AND 30? HOW MANY BOTTLE I NEED? I HAVE A JEEP WRANGLER YJ 1994 ....THANK YOU

@JeepSolid 4 года назад

A little over a bottle and 1/2 each. So I'd say get 4 bottles total. May be able to do it with 3, but could cut it close..

@carlomassimo8887 4 года назад

i can use the same oil for dana 30 and 35?

@stumpfarming 5 лет назад

It looks like you actually had your chisel backwards if you want to prevent damage to the case. A wood chisel like that is designed to run with the "short" side of the bit oriented away from the surface you want to lift. Anything more than a few taps to break it loose and you would likely see the chisel start to gouge the case surface.

@JeepSolid 5 лет назад

Yeah, it was really on there good.

@CarnutMM 5 лет назад

That oil you drained looked pretty new

@JeepSolid 5 лет назад

Yeah, it was old, but still looked pretty clean.

@vegasfordguy 4 года назад

I've always used RTV and never had a leak. That lube locker gasket is like the OEM reusable transmission pan gaskets that Ford uses. Makes an easier job for sure.

@JeepSolid 4 года назад

It’s sure worked well 👍🏼

@12345gizzmo 4 года назад

I thought you filled it with 1quart had to be an inch below the full hole of it runs out its too mutc H and can cause deals to leak

@nicknaydihor6549 2 года назад

If you use a thin flexible scraper not a chisel you run almost no chance of damage

@Richhaze420 5 лет назад

Isn't it a bad Idea to spray the inside of your diff with brake cleaner. Won't it leave some kind of chemical that will interfere with the gear oil?

@JeepSolid 5 лет назад

As long as you let it dry, it's fine.

@sidepocketlouie590 4 года назад

Was the drive shaft connected when you rotated the carrier?

@JeepSolid 4 года назад

Yes. It was still connected.

@Wongburger 4 года назад

Just put the transfer case in Neutral

@brandonevans6541 3 года назад

I have question I've got an 01 xj with a LP dana 30 and 8.25 I was wondering what type of gear oil you recommend? cause I've been seeing everyone use for both the front and rear 75w-140.

@scuba1788 5 лет назад

Gonna have to try those gaskets in 8,000 miles for sure, way easier.

@JeepSolid 5 лет назад

So much easier! And holding very well.

@scottzarkos3466 4 года назад

3:27 rip diff cover.... you werent joking about its on there and you can beat on it all day w the rtv. lol

@sxstexan1956 5 лет назад

Can u send me ur old fluid! It looked bran new! Good vid, I will be doing this as soon as I get ur fluid in. 😁

@JeepSolid 5 лет назад

Haha! I know. It looked pretty good, huh.

@thetriode Год назад

Am I the only one that's never seen diff fluid as clean as what he drained out of that axle save coming from the bottle?

@sidepocketlouie590 4 года назад

Any idea why mine wouldn't rotate freely with front shaft connected..?

@JeepSolid 4 года назад

Is it in 4 wheel drive? This one spins, because the 4x4 activation locks the axle at the CAD housing on the axle. When not activated, the axle spins freely.

@sidepocketlouie590 4 года назад

Its not in 4x4... had to disconnect front shaft to rotate carrier..

@sidepocketlouie590 4 года назад

I tried to put t case in neutral but nothing..

@MrSrtman18 Год назад

Is this ur first time changing this ever? Ur personal first diff ever done? Looks like it, does redline watch ur vid before sending u stuff.

@JeepSolid Год назад

Redline actually reached out to me. So, yeah, I guess they like my videos. But wow, this is an old one. Haha

@AustinH7 2 года назад

Man... when I changed my fluid at 30,000 miles and a lot of off-roading and water crossing, the oil was thick and looked like tar 🤣

@camcordernonsense5264 4 года назад

The gears inside are the same ones used to turn the planets in our solar system.

@sewerratt47 5 лет назад

Paint your cover!

@JeepSolid 5 лет назад

Yeah, I should have touched it up.

@leroybishop2245 2 года назад

👍🇺🇸

@nolankarat5169 2 года назад

I could smell this video

@poke777890 Год назад

Put tape on the fill plug lol

@camcordernonsense5264 4 года назад

I keep hearing don't use a chisel or screw driver and I keep hearing beating it free doesn't always work.

@JeepSolid 4 года назад

I've heard some guys using a bottle Jack to push it off. I need to try that.

@miamimike1287 3 года назад

You seriously worried about scratching the cover of your differential? Maybe should get a Prius

@JeepSolid 3 года назад

I’m saying you don’t want to scratch up the mating surface where the gasket goes. Can cause leaks.

@coltonmasters5304 3 года назад

I’ve used chisels, screwdrivers, and whatever else I could get my hands on, and I’ve never had a problem. I also use rtv, just extra security.

@Erwin-hq3xt Год назад

No Glasses 👀😮

@joseluisbourbois5858 5 лет назад

That ratchet would be considered a “tactical” ratchet and would most likely be illegal here in California 😔

@JeepSolid 5 лет назад

Haha! Most likely

@Flyby-1000 5 лет назад

That putty knife would have been better to use to split the cover instead of that chisel... I use the putty knife all the time, no Issues... Gear Oil stinks!!!! Literally....

@JeepSolid 5 лет назад

Yeah, I thought of that too. Probably would have served better, but the chisel worked well.

@youfixit24 4 года назад

Are one of those who moved from California to Oregon? Just curious

@KennethWarren1935 13 дней назад

That what she said you know you a box cutter on them don't you play me a lot easier you don't have the Dennis anything

@AndrewBrowner 5 лет назад

i really like the channel loving the engine build, but this video just was a waste of time.. youve covered it alot and so has everyone who ever made a jeep video... 30k miles change the diff fluid.. thats ludicrous, if its not getting contaminated with water its good for close to the life of the vehicle or atleast the life of the diff bearings.. the oil is virtually good for as long as you could think of driving it just gets ruined by water/metal wear contamination changing this fluid every 30k is just burning money and wasting time.. use the money to get hub locks so you can disconnect the front driveline from spinning furing daily driving way better investment`

@JeepSolid 5 лет назад

Don't worry, engine rebuild videos are coming soon. Factory service manual recommends changing diff fluid every 30k. I figure the engineers know better than I do.
