I'm getting ready to tear into my diff. to install new 3.55 gears.

If I don't succeed, I blame GTR1999 for getting me into this mess.

Because of various articles I've read of his, I decided this was job I could tackle. Already had most of the tools needed and this project gave me the excuse to buy the ones I didn't.

Already have the diff out of the Vette but it needs a major cleaning. Hope to have it cleaned and completely unassembled by this evening.

Later

That's what I'm thinking, nothing money can't fix.

All apart now and "soaking". Probably spend what time I have tomorrow to work on it cleaning the sucker.
