rear axle question ??

johnny curt 1 · Feb 17, 2012

found a hole in me rear diff casing with a little care and a full stripdown is it possible to patch such a hole without fooking the axle up

it also appears to have early rangie diffs fitted as theres a drain plug in the bottom of the diff housing ( 1" round flathead screwdriver fitting plug) and what appears to be another plug 2/3 rds the way up the houseing crudely welded in with pigeon poo

i was inspecting this bodged plug when i noticed the hole about 2" away from it

please tell me it can be patched and is not a complete axle replacement jobbie for the sake of a little hole

hang on ill get a pic of this little fekker just to make sure ( i dont mind welding it up ) its gonna get stripped and checked out anyway just thinking why replace the entire thing if all its gonna need is a bit of time and effort
