As I said, by the description I thought we were talking the outside connection to the diff housing. After seeing the pictures of where the copper tube is then no, it's a complete disassembly to get the ring out that needs the work.
while fighting a bear with one hand...
I'm sorry, man. What a pain. I had a feeling their repair wasn't going to hold. You could probably have a plumbing shop braze it but then you'd still have to take it apart. What a mess.AND... I just called the shop to see how things were going and wouldn't you know, they aren't. They said all looked good on the bench but after reinstalling the locker and testing it out in the diff, the damn thing was leaking again and right at the repair.
I told them to just button things up and that I'll be coming by to pick up my Jeep.
Gotta love wasting time and money to have a shop make things worse.
And, if I were to have this shop do the work, there would be labor on top of that too. Yeah... no.
At this point and time, I think I'll just order up a new locker and call it a day. I was just hoping to get Moby running at full capacity for summer but it looks like that ain't gonna happen any time soon.
LOL - all I want is my Jeep back.
Damn that sucks. I'm sure they are going to charge to too which is even worse.AND... I just called the shop to see how things were going and wouldn't you know, they aren't.

Probably not exactly cheap Labor either..
Oh yeah, I was already up at 5 hours before I gave them the o-rings. I'm afraid to find out how much more they're going to stick it to me for making things worse.
Sounds like it is 100% cheap labor. But not inexpensive labor.
Exactly!!
Sounds just like my luckAND... I just called the shop to see how things were going and wouldn't you know, they aren't. They said all looked good on the bench but after reinstalling the locker and testing it out in the diff, the damn thing was leaking again and right at the repair.

If they'd known what they were doing, they would have realized the epoxy needed to be placed on the the pressure side of the tube, the side the pressure is on. As that's on the inside of the tube, it would be very difficult to do.AND... I just called the shop to see how things were going and wouldn't you know, they aren't.
