When changing the rear axle fluid what do you use to seal the cover to housing? A gasket A gasket maker Or both together? Thanks.
I use this: https://www.permatex.com/products/g...matex-gear-oil-rtv-gasket-maker/?locale=en_us Or both, as above.
The 1969 Service Manual says to use a gasket but a gasket only will leak. What was used from the factory?
Probably a gasket. When I had my mechanic replace the fluid in the rear end, he used Permatex black sealant instead of a gasket.
If it is a chrome cover scuff the sealing surface with a scotch bright pad to give the chrome surface some etching so the RTV or other sealant has something to grab.
