Message: <blockquote data-quote="sledesigns" data-source="post: 38464" data-attributes="member: 2358">Now, prepping for the rears I notice that through the access covers and any contortions of my arms, I cannot scrape the old inner axle cap gaskets completely off with the engine in the machine.  A glob of silicon may have worked this time, but down the road that glob may haunt me.  Pull the engine.<img src="http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk99/sledesigns/Bobcat%20722%20project/Bobcat722b010.jpg?t=1290048656" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 620px; height: 465px" />And oops, the door accidentally got some dents pounded out and painted.<img src="http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk99/sledesigns/Bobcat%20722%20project/Bobcat722b011.jpg?t=1290048656" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 620px; height: 465px" />Beveled some plugs for the axle housing holes to keep the dirt out while descaling.<img src="http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk99/sledesigns/Bobcat%20722%20project/Bobcat722b013.jpg?t=1290048656" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 620px; height: 465px" />They look like this close up with a silicon seal.  (Later found I should have machined stepped plugs out for a seal with an O-ring and no silicon, silicon took a while to clean off)<img src="http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk99/sledesigns/Bobcat%20722%20project/Bobcat722b014.jpg?t=1290048656" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 620px; height: 465px" /></blockquote>
