    Nice video mate but for supporting the car please use wood instead of concrete blocks, these tend to crack and break on you.

    I’ll say again, please get yourself Jack stands. Car could roll or cinder blocks could crack.

    Solid video but on the plug replacements you have both listed in text as the filler plug at 52 ft-lb. The first plug is the drain plug, the second is filler plug. Are both 52 ft-lbs?

    Thanks, very straight. Very usefull, can you suggest an oil to use? Id like the diff to be locked, but i dont want to solder it, any tip? Thanks for your answer!

    • @mikes.garage
      @mikes.garage  3 года назад

      Thank you for watching! If you want locked differential you need to buy LSD for your car model and use SAE 75W-140 oil. If you want just change you diff oil 75W-90. Any brand will work.

    You make a big mistake,the key is dinamometric, and dinamometric only work good if you put your hand in the extremety of the tool, and you put in the middle, im not english, but you have to worry to put in the correct dibamometric pression, because the oil gonna begin to drop , worry....
