Hydraulic Locker

Post by SirGerald »

Hi quick question about hydraulic lockers.

We have today reinstalled the rear diff which included re-bleeding the locker.

Went for a blat up the road and thought we would test locker by doing a sharp (low speed) turn on the road to see if the inside tire chrip. It didn't.

Not really sure how the hydraulic locker works so not sure if it should have anyway.

With the locker engaged will it still allow the wheels to turn at different speeds rather than making the inside wheel skip??

Cheers for that. We suspect that it has a big air bubble in the actual locker. Is there a way to bleed this without removing the diff??

If we had an air bubble when this heated up would it cause the fluid to push back up the line and out of the lid where you fill it up??
