You know this puts a big smile on my face. YES I have thought about using a heat gun or hair drier to speed up this process and and and I decided NOT to do it becasue I will get so damn impatient that I will most likely burn up the sensor or freeze it when I drop it in the freezer.

Thanks for answering my post. I am trying to keep the interest going in this thread. I think this problem can be avoided. Well at least the problem of pulling the differential. I would have have taken the sensor out last year and ltried to lube it then if I was more aware of the problem.

I also put some lube down in the sensor hole. There is a rubber seal down there that is most likely dry and taking some shaft power.

Oh yes the UK gearbox is pretty nice! Real AWD
