So you guys that have replaced this shear pin with a different material, have you had any successive failures with any other parts "down stream" afterwards? I only question this because a shear pin has a function other than just holding two parts together. Its a designed failure mechanism.

hopefully it never comes out!
so i took my front diffs last night and rebuilt it... wow... long job... about 3 hours probably lol... i drove it in my house last night because it was too dark and everything seems fine. i hope it all is because MANNN that was a long job.
I hear ya on that one. I had bought three different diff lubes to try, but after I got them apart, I made a firm and final decision that it was not going to be a trial and error thing. 90W it is!
On a more serious note, I'd do your diff's for you every weekend for that girl in your avitar.......
