Barb snapped on diff

[boostboost]

Hi guys,

Got a little problem. I bought the diff and when they delivered it the barb got damaged. Are these easily removed from the diff and replaced?

Cheers

Anyone with any idea on the cost of replacing the barb?

What's the 'barb' ?

The "barb" He is refering to is the breather outlet where the breather hose connects. Not easy to get out. Best and easiest thing to do is get another rear cover from a wreaker or somewhere.

Or i have a diff for sale..... 4.11 ratio minispool.. $600.

might have to take it to a diff place and see what they can do.. i think its just the breather...

yeh thats a breather, cant u just use the diff cover from your original diff?

 

[boostboost]

yeh sorry its the breather.

Have you tried bending it back yet?

No i haven't but I can see one side has already sheared so no point in trying. It will snap off and leave the remainder of the barb/nipple inside the diff. which will be a pain to remove.

I just did this to a spare diff today as well! Forgot it was there and flipped the diff on the concrete I haven't pulled it apart to see what the options, but if anyone has found anything new in the last 13 years that would be great!!
