Smart ideas: removing diff bung


funkytown

Recommended Posts

in case someone has struggled like me before...

top bung is stuck in the rear diff (and is in the car)

A 1/2' drive bar doesnt work and a whole lot of extenders and big bar doesnt work either...

Any smart ways to get it out? Impact gun i did think of...

Suggestions welcome.

the bung square is getting a bit munted as well so if anyone has an old one they want to give me so i can replace my bung (lol) one that would be awesome

are you trying to fill with oil...

[me=dubbedup]thinks about where it is located[/me]

yup thats it - effectively the middle bung to fill with oil.

Apply heat.

Give it a good solid whack with a hammer to break any seal in the thread (a big punch or similar is good for not wrecking the bung).

Try tightening it a fraction then undo it.

smacking alloy is ok?

hmm will have to find myself a heat source

thankyou sir

Yeah its on a tapered thread so they lock up in there. I had the same with my diff drain plug. I had to swap the whole rear cover.

Most impact drivers are 1/2" drive anyway. But if its that tight, I doubt an impact driver will do much.

Did they not notice it while the diff was being reco'd??

But if its all rounded out like mine was, then you're stuffed. Every time I turned the bar it would climb up out of the recess.

I'm guessing the diff is in the car, right Jon? And if so, I very much doubt he wants to take it out yet again!!

yer to all - its in the car on the ground - so no nice way of putting a big long bar on it..

maybe if i pour a little in the bottom bung with the rear as high as i can get it, then tow it down somewhere where i can hoist it up and then swing a big bar from the bottom

Because the rear mounting studs that go through the rear subframe come out of the rear cover, not the diff casing.

To remove the rear cover, the diff must be removed from the car.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
