    Anyone klnow where to get a new diff cover?

    Trying to get the OEWN bushing out, and the metal ring that surrounds the bushings is fused to the cover...I have been trying to get it out, but in the process I am eating up the diff cover trying to get the damn metal ring out. Anyone know where to look for a used cover besides ebay? I searched already and there is nothing...

    Cut thru it with a dremel 90% of the way then use a hammer and chisel to split it and work it out like you would with a wheel bearing when the outer race separates


    it's a Kenny Powers quote on wheels

        that's what I was doing I ended up nicking the edge of the ear a little and my chisel marred it up a bit. When it finally came out it wasn't as bad as I was thinking it was, but I am slightly worried about cracking now due to the nick in the near I ended up with.

            It will be fine, +1.

            I press on it until the rubber rips out,
            then assemble a hacksaw inside,
            and cut until it just breaks through.
            If it's really corroded, sometimes 2 or 3 cuts.

            now, sometimes I just mess with people. It's more entertaining that way. george graves
