Will this buff out?

[Cbrianroll]

Should clean up good right?

So where's the rest of the story, pictures and videos?

And yeah...knock the chips off, spray out the diff with a can of brake cleaner and pop that back in...how's the ring look?

How far did you have to walk? =)

JB weld. Don’t accept cheap substitutes.

I wish there was a fun story behind it. I just traded for the jeep over the weekend, I knew it needed gears as it was coming with them. Previous owner got most of the broken pieces out. The ring looked good surprisingly. Maybe they changed it only? Weird…
Diff is a ltd so I’m waiting on a rebuild kit so I can reassemble.

That would be my recommendation as well. Or maybe Flex Seal makes something appropriate for moist areas..

This will fix it right up. Make sure all the pieces are aligned correctly first.

How does that even happen ?? Would think something else would break first ??

My pinion did the same thing.

I think the pinion bearing failed...then all the oil pumped out...got dry, seized and grenaded.

Improper setup can do it.

Full send can do it.

Ha…I know..the ring is good or better…didn’t really look too close and the bearings were good.

 

[macleanflood]

Flush everything out good and feel out the entire rotation of the bearing...just a little metal will do bad things. I replaced all mine when my pinion grenaded... didn't trust they didn't have some damage.

Thanks for the advice, I have new gears and full install kit too, doing wheel bearings and seals while it’s apart.
The axle will be getting washed out a few times as I am paranoid about stuff like that.
