NOT the right way. the right way is that the gears come out, cleaned, prepped and preheated then welded and tempered (slow cooling) then installed. if just one bit of slag (HARD METAL) is in your diff after you did that the gears will be trashed. welds can and often do crack and or come off the parent metal as they are usually hardened and or cast. NEVER do what you did if you have any investment into your project. Doing this for a demo derby car is fine but do not click bait and make up things that you do not understand in a video telling others to do what you did the wrong way and say it was right.
@@timsgarage1356 cleaning the weld zone is very sufficient, leaving oil on the ring and pinion as to protect it from berries sticking is the way to be. No preheat is required, it is all steel/cast steel, I addressed if the welds crack and that they often do, nothing “falls out”. The point of this video is conveying that you do not have to fill the thing with weld, do not add material (bolts,plate, etc). I do not know you, but would wager I have welded more front and rear diffs in my lifetime than you or anybody you know, and have never had a single failure to my knowledge. Have a good day sir.
