Exactly, I had the rear diff cover vapour blasted. Prior to that, I tried alu cleaner from autosmart and it was pointless due to the built up limescale in the cooling fins.john-e89 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 16, 2023 9:36 pmWhip it off, pop it in the post to me and I’ll vapour blast it if you want Jont, this is a cosworth diff I did the other day.jontZ4M wrote: ↑Thu Feb 16, 2023 4:49 pmYeh I've got torx socket set. On my roadster there isn't enough room to get the socket and head of the ratchet in there.
So I modified the socket by cutting 10mm off front, 7mm off back and 7mm off ratchet square insert. Total size reduction 17mm, still won't bloody fit in there! Trying spanners.
Question to you guys:
- what type of paint did you use on diff and subframe?
- how on earth do you clean up the alloy part of the diff? Wire brushes won't fit in this nasty crevaces.
Well worth the £40 outlay
