[FC] Diff "Snout" Installation Question

[Duane, Jim]

If you have already installed the innards, I'd leave it alone.  More
likely to do damage.  The tolerances are SOO tight and the contact areas
so large that I'd seriously doubt you would get a 70-90W gear oil leak.
Your call...

   I always use a thin film around the circumference. Put it on the diff
case 
not the sleeve. Be sure and not to get any in the oil hole that feeds
the 
bearing. Also the snout does not have to come all the way out, 1/4"-3/8"

should do it.
