I picked up a sierra LSD diff (including drive shafts).
Apart from a good clean and paint do I need to do anything else to it. e.g change the oil etc
Also what do I paint it with?
hammer ite is fine there is better but cant remember the name
diff oil is designed for life however I emptied mine and put fresh in sure it was hypoid gear oil
try a search
I wouldnt bother doing all this as it cant be seen when its on the car
all it does is make an absolute mess everywhere
have the Driveshafts got ABS teeth on the end its like a ring of fine teeth
if so these need machining off just down to the bottom of the tooth
they wont fit your rear uprights
The guys at MK weren't sure if the teeth needed grining off for the new chassis?
suprised they dont know they should really !!!!!!!
who did you speak to?

Make sure that you put LSD oil in not just normal diff oil - LSD plates will chop the oil which will then overheat and you'll knacker something (eventually)

Hypoid gear oil, viscosity SAE 90 to API GL5
thats what went in mine and never missed a beat from my permanent 12k revs

When you take the drain plug out from the diff, if I recall correctly it has a magnetic filter to chatch metal swaf, you will find its full, of bits,
clean it with a rag before re-filling the diff..
