<VV> Differential

[N. Joseph Potts]

I've used an RTV sealer with good results in the past. I've never seen any
instruction to do so, but felt it should be done nonetheless, and am intent
on NEVER finding out if it is in fact necessary.
     No need to back up the diff case in my experience. Just tap that snout
out square as you can.

When installing press fit parts it is always best to put sealer on the
joint
especially if one of the parts is a used one. When press fit parts are
disassembled they are subject to minute scratches which can cause leaks. I
use
silicon RTV, Permatex or urathane sealer.  Urathane sealant  is my  choice
since
there are no known solvents for urathane compounds. I always use a  sealer
when installing a snout in a differential.
