Good stuff man. I just did this about 2 months ago. Banged my rear cover on a rock. Leaking all over the place. Had to remove it, hammer the cover to re-straighten and refill. Cheers bud.
Great video! You gave me the confidence to replace the leaky diff in my 2016 frontier. What was the name of the sealant you got? You said it was Nissan silicone or something, and do you remember where abouts you got it? Again, thank you! Be back for more!
You're welcome!! I had to order the diff sealant at my local dealer. You won't find it in any store. Maybe order online, but I know the dealer has it for sure.
@@NaritasanStudios my rear pinion seal has a drip now and it was replaced about 9 months ago . I did read on forum about the vent . I’m in New England salt and rust belt . Said if vent was blocked puts pressure on seal when oil heats up . Looks like I’ll have to replace the seal again. Any part number for this 2006 frontier 4WD. Thanks for video . Cool work around with that hunting knife lol.
I got a 2011 Nissan Frontier and I have to use gear oil that has the limited slip additives. Was wondering if that diff had limited slip I couldn't tell.
It's a standard open diff. No lockers or limited slip, but Hopefully we'll be upgrading to some sort of locker soon. I used everything Nissan recommends for our diff. Everything should be in the description of this video. Thanks for watching!
I have it in my Haines Manuel but I've done plenty of diff covers and I just tighten it till it feels tight. I know that's not the best advice but I just know when it's tight enough. Google the specs and it should pop up if not let me know and I'll check my Haines Manuel for you
You can but its suggested from the factory and I usually do what the factory and haynes recommend. At least my wheel studs haven't sheered off yet 🤣🤣🤣 wish I could have been there to witness the race truck though! Looks like you had a blast! Cheers bro 🍻
@@davidnorris4980 you're right and I knew that before I made the video. But you can make a gasket. Maybe I'll make a video of making a gasket. "Gasket update" It's still doing great with no leaks!

Thanks for that. Not too much, not too little.
Thx for info

If you haven't already. Be sure to replace your breather valve for the axle. Cheap insurance to prevent your seals from blowing out
Good idea. I never think about that because we rarely see mud or deep water.

Email me @dailydrivennissan
was there a specific amount of torque needed on the diff cover, or did you just tighten them down snug?
Snug +1

Do you know the torque specs for the diff bolts? Planning on doing this to my 2005 frontier soon

I appreciate the video man keep up the good work
Thank you for the kind words and I'll keep it up if you stay Subscribed! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Is this a c200k?
Sir, 13mm is equivalent to 1/2" inch. 14mm is 9/16th"
How long did you wait for the sealant to dry before you added the gear oil ?
@Kim 24 hrs
I have a 2018 nissan frontier pro4x
What's the differential fluid type?
For the front and rear
I believe I linked them in the description
@@NaritasanStudios I checked and I don't see it
Easy Google search Pro4x differential fluids
Might I suggest not putting RTV on the fill plug. Not necessary.
You can but its suggested from the factory and I usually do what the factory and haynes recommend.

Why did you use sealant instead of a new gasket ??
This is what the manufacturer suggests, however we will be changing it up because the sealant failed. I will make a video explaining my thoughts soon
Don’t make a gasket that’s why
@@davidnorris4980 you're right and I knew that before I made the video. But you can make a gasket. Maybe I'll make a video of making a gasket.
"Gasket update"

@@davidnorris4980 factory uses sealant for the c200k as far as i know. Unless you cut out your own gasket you're not getting an OEM one.
@@NaritasanStudios What'd you end up doing?
