Rear differential - no gasket?

There's no gasket I need when installing the rear differential right? Better safe than sorry.

No gasket.

At the one dealership where I worked, we used Loctite 515 to re-assemble transmissions. I used that stuff to seal the pumpkin to the rearend housing. Never leaked. Very good stuff.

What happens when you wanna take it apart again?

I was supposed to do a transmission service on a 2001 Mopar minivan. I couldn't get the pan off though. I tried prying, I tried a razor blade, I tried the BFH... Hell, I even hit it with a large rock I found outside... It didn't budge...

Loctite 515 comes right apart again. I found that out the HARD way (had to re-R&R and re-do a tranny on my nickel.... live and learn) It's rather like Hylomar except more viscous. It cleans up really easy, too, just some solvent and a rag, maybe some Scotch-Brite pad, and it comes right off.

It's not Uber-sealer like Chrysler uses... I've destroyed trans pans trying to take them off before
