Broken diff bolt extraction...
#11
Yep, it will be synthetic in the morning...Synth 75W90 was on sale for almost the same as dino oil...
Extraction went ok, not awesome, but ok. I had to re-tap the hole again, but it should hold oil when I'm done.
Got my new diff cover from the dealer, raw steel. No paint, nothin'.
It's primed and had 2 coats of paint, waiting to clear it and then good to go for re-assembly.
It's going to be the prettiest thing under the car for sure at the moment!
EDIT: Pics -
Old Cover:
Broken bolt:
Raw Steel new cover:
Primed:
Painted & Cleared: (Rustoleum graphite paint)
And back together:
Like I said, prettiest thing under the car right now.
I'm going to let the silicone setup overnight then re-fill it tomorrow.
I'm doing the tranny filter tomorrow, hopefully none of those bolts are as bad as these were...
