How To Clean, Prep, and Paint a Differential #FairmontProject
After disassembling my differential it needed to be cleaned before I reassembled it. I also had plans to paint it while I was at it. Why not? This video covers all of those processes.
**Note** I would strongly recommend you wear a respirator during the prep portion as well as for painting. I woke up the next day with a heck of a sinus headache and had some really weird snot to go with it. To avoid that, wear a respirator during the prep work as well.
