Title: One longer stud on some carriers..
Post by: DARK AGE 53 on May 17, 2007, 09:57:13 pm

when doing a gear change last week I found the carrier that came on the car had one longer stud then the new carrier, not a big deal but you might want to get a shorter stud just in case.

Hi Al,
 From what I have read, this was indicative of a 10 bolt Toyota rear end housing. Have found that this is not always true.

You can plug it with silicone, it not a big deal.

Bringing up an old subject.  Anyone know where I can get one of the long studs.  The carrier that came on the car uses the short stud, but the carrier I am switching uses the long stud.  If I just seal it with gasket seal, do I just keep the short stud on and only have 9 nuts holding it in the housing?

Im just a 9 nutter myself...

That sounded odd...  ::)

So many jokes but probably none I can say on this board.   :D

I'll let that one alone.

Nie are fine, just make sure you run a gasket to help it from leaking, you can replace the short stud with a longer on but it is not a big deal.

nine nuts are fine, I run a gasket on the housing, siliconed. And no silicone on the center section / gear and I run the gasket for most of the year with no problems.  I also have to change the gear every week for 3 diff tracks...

Are you using the stock auto parts store gasket, or some kind of reuseable gasket?

Paper from 600...The key is to just silicone the one side, the housing.  I have not had it leak in 2 years.  If I change the gear I look at it and change if needed.  I think I have used 2 or 3 gaskets in 2 years and change the gear every weeek..

I will give that a try.  I just used silcone the last time which works great, but is a mess to scrape off during gear changes.

I change gears a lot so I don't use anything. Just metal to metal and it doesn't leak but you do have to fill that long bolt hole though.
