August 6, 2008 - I love that blue.
The last time I installed the diff, I experimented with using Hylomar HPF instead of the usual RTV. Hylomar never really sets up, but stays tacky. This makes it really easy to separate later and to clean up. The old Land Rover guys use this a lot, and when I came across it in my toolbox I decided to give it a shot in something a little newer and hopefully more oil-tight. I'm pretty happy with the results, it's much cleaner to work with than RTV.
While writing this, I decided to check out the suggested uses of Hylomar from the manufacturer. And will you look at that, they recommend it for "differential covers". So there you go.
