Default JB Weld Diff Locking?

Is it possible to unlock a diff after it has already been locked with jb weld, or would i have to get new gears and replace it?

if you do happen to get the JB Weld out and unlock it, dont tell JB Weld or the millions of customers that are nuts about it (i am one of them).....oh and dont tell the guy in my shop class back in high school that JB Welded a crack in his engine block (1:1 scale), lol.

NO you are not going to unlock that stuff....wait, maybe a M-80 might do it, lol.

hey! i knew a guy in high school that also used jb weld to seal a cracked block too!
and the intake manifold
and the water pump
and more things than you can think of!
he also used a block sander (the long sanders for bodywork) to surface the top of his block!

i wish i where making it all up, but once youve seen stuff like that and your still stupid enough to get in the car, youll be a jb weld believer!! the funniest part is the fact that the guy still did low 13s in the 1/4.

jb weld is some tuff stuff, if you do manage to get it all out youll probably be left with a ruined diff cup.

I just used JB Weld to fix my radiator.. beats spending about $400 for a new one!

I did that with a Mitsubishi Montero I bought to sell

Got the sucker for free, a $250 computer and $2 of JB weld and I sold it for $4k[sm=thumbup.gif][sm=thumbup.gif]
