Sat 18th I am going to change the diff fluid in my car. Booked Weedon garage ramp hire so I can do it standing up and with the car level.
It's a relatively simple job, just two bolts, drain and fill. I have all I need - oil, rags, pipe, 14mm hex screw, torque wrench etc.
My question is, what is best to use to help seal the bolts?
I have the following:
PTFE tape.
This stuff: http://old20tractorparts.com/engine-parts/903-heldite-joining-compound-125ml-7100022.html
And this stuff: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371405317045
What would be the best? To my mind it's more important to seal than to lock but I don't want to risk any compound getting into the diff itself. The bolts I think are grubs, so they don't have a face.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers
