 ARB fitting leak The fitting is leaking at the Diff. I took the outer nut/fitting off and tried to Teflon tape it to no avail so I think I need to remove the compression sleeve and re-install with a new one. The question I have is,, Can I do this without messing something up and requiring me to remove the diff cover or can I just remove the fitting that goes into the diff and replace the compression sleeve on the support tube and re-assemble?
Thanks
Brett

ARB fitting leak You will have to remove the cover as once you take the compression fitting off the metal tube in the diff will probably move away from where the diff/compression fitting was. And it would be a huge headache to get back in the new fitting.
Once you pull the fitting you will see what I mean. Weird it's leaking there as it's just a brass metal on metal fitting. Don't believe there are any o rings at that connection.

Re: ARB fitting leak The newer ARBs have an O ring on the copper tubing.

Re: ARB fitting leak You can replace that little O ring with out removing the cover plate. I have done this using a set of forceps just be careful not to crush the tube. It is also important to get the new Oring back in the original position. You will notice a slight compression mark from the original install.
