LSD hairline crack

I was putting new fluid into my 3.64 lsd and when i went to tighten the lower bleed bolt i cracked the part underneath it.

Can this be repaired?

Can it be welded?

i have a spare standard diff and it seems to be the same size.

Will this fit?

any suggestions?

The drain plug on the alloy cover? If so just replace it with the other one you have.

It seems, he cracked the back plate around the drain plug.


If both diffs have the same number of bolts on the back over, just swap over the covers :wink:
