    Spare diffs - Rotate them often.

    if you have a spare diff lying around, make sure you have fluid it in and rotate it periodically. I just opened a spare diff and the pinion shaft is rusty and the crown wheel is rusty too. The pinion shaft is useless. It has major pitting on it but am wondering if I can save the crown wheel as that has rust on one side. The house has rust on one side which was exposed to air.

    Crown wheel and pinion are a matched pair, so unfortunately if one is knackered they both are.

      Rusty gears cleaned up have excellent oil retention properties

        Sorry I was meant to say pinion shaft is shot. It also has a nice groove on it from the non-leather seal. That's mean at some point we will have a shortage of quill shafts or need to have them sleeved.

          Skim & source a suitable seal in order to re-use.

            Or search for Speedi Sleeve, Imperial. Easy to fit and use standard seal.

              Well, in may case, +3 - they are used on the diff output shafts as well!
