i just read a write up and have a basic question:
why do you spray brake cleaner on the gear and inside on the diff cover?
again, i'm still new at the jeep driveway mechanic thing..
thanks

The brake cleaner cleans out the old lube and any sediment that may be lingering.

I installed the SOLID covers today ...... I used the lubelocker gaskets @ $16 per axle ( but are reusable numerous times )...... I also took the time to use Lucas synthetic for Gear lube @ 15 / qt and 5 qts for both axles ( it has the limited slip additive in it ) !!!!!
They look SSSSSWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTT !!!!!!

My reasoning for going with Riddler covers as opposed to a cage or plate is that I do alot of my offroading through fields overgrown with weeds and cages and skidplates are just another place for the crap to build up, and then need to be cleaned.
