I just did this. I used Hylomar HPF flange & gasket dressing.
The factory assembled them dry.

I'm glad to report shipwrights disease is alive and well here in Central
PA!
While waiting for the body shop call and start the painting process on
my '71 TR6, I decided to pull the rear end out to fix some pesky little
oil leaks in the differential. After wrestling with a three jaw puller
for a while and getting nowhere, I now have the inner axles free of the
drive flanges (thanks to some persuasion with a 12T press). After
cleaning up score marks on the left taper that must have been as a
result of a prior effort by the DPO, I can refit new seals and put
things back together. My question to the group concerns fitting the oil
seal housing to the diffy case. Is there any benefit to using any
sealant on the joint between the diffy and the seal housing or is it
just assembled dry? If a sealant is used, what type?
As always, I sincerely appreciate any comments and feedback by the
group!
