<VV> DIFFERENTIAL THOUGHTS

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 I've done exactly that, and as long as you clean things up VERY well before you start, the process you describe should work very well indeed. 
Mark it CAREFULLY (I prefer a center punch, as the parts cleaner can't wash that off!) use carb cleaner spray to get things spotless, and have at it. While it's out, hit the sealing surface with some fine grit sandpaper to remove any rust and crud. Lube the bejeezus out of the O ring and everything it slides on, and reassemble.

is it worth the risk to attempt replacing the right hand side axle sleeve O 
 RING without removing the differential? marking it and carefully 
reinstalling  it? someone has apparently had it apart and did not get the o ring 

seated  properly , so it now leaks. i am doing a ton of other work on this car 
that so  far does not require powertrain r&r.  wrong this and that work has  
caused a lot of grief for this guy so far. i am looking for someone that can 
say  they have done this with success , not just guessing!     it  is a 64 
spyder coupe. 
looking at it , i think i can pull it off. am i missing sumptin?
 mark the sleeve , count the turns , poke a rod thru the axle hole to  hold 
the carrier up until started , etc , etc,??
thanks , tim colson
