Ml350 W166 Rear Diff

[hog]

Hi
Does anyone know if I can reseal Rear Diff End Cover without removing it, will it drop enough without taking driveshafts out ?? There is small leak from rear cover.

Cheers Hog

Just for info and I would not recommend this ....but!....a while back a friends Grand Cherokee developed a small leak at about 4 oclock when viewed from behind on the rear diff.....as a temporary measure we cleaned it up with brake and clutch cleaning fluid and put a think-ish smear of JB Weld over that part of the joint....the plan being to fix it when he had more time.....three years later the JB is still there and its still dry....its amazing stuff. No substitute for a proper repair though of course.

It's a very poorly constructed opening sentence from the OP which can be interpreted either literally as per above post or alternatively, that the question is can the diff be dropped enough to enable removal of the cover? - the answer to which I do not know.
Only the OP knows what they are asking though.
