Safety Wiring for Ring Gear Bolts
When we tore down the differential for the ’48, we had an “OMG” surprise. One of the ring gear bolts had fractured and was dangling by one of the safety wires. That particular differential had only been in the truck for about three years and had been torn down and inspected after the original had thrown a scrap iron for when a bearing disintegrated.
And we used a much better grade of wire to secure the bolts when we rebuilt it.
Another catastrophe avoided.
