Differential Clean Up, Prep and POR-15
The most
shocking/surprising thing about the differential when I
got it was the amount of scaly rust covering the case. I
was beginning to wonder if this came from a Hurricane
Katrina car and had spent time under 10' of salt water!
But everything turned very easily and by using my angle
grinder with an assortment of wire wheels I was able to
remove the surface rust in preparation for painting with
POR-15.

The POR-15 process is
pretty easy: remove any loose rust........well I went
waaaaaaay beyond that step, then brush on their metal
cleaner followed by their metal prep wash. The cleaner,
prep and paint all come in their starter kit and there
is plenty of all the products to do a differential plus
a few other things.
Finished with two
coats of POR-15 |

Next up is installing the
new pinion seal and the
pinion nut.
