Update: I'm having a terrible time removing the axle nuts on the rear end I got from the junk yard. A rear end sitting on the ground doesn't give the same leverage to turn the axle nuts as the one on my disco. All i want off it at this point is the rear diff. Is there any way to remove the rear diff from the rear end without taking the axle nut and axle shafts? I'm thinking a cutting disc is the only way but looking for other suggestions before I have to buy one. Thanks in advance!

I have a 1970 S2A and the rear differential's housing (the pumpkin) is rusted through at the top and is leaking. My mechanic says he can fix it by grinding off the rust and completely cover the diff housing with JB Weld steel epoxy. I have had great luck with JB Weld and although it sounds like it might be worth a try for this application but I would gladly welcome any suggestions or relatable experiences such as this one.
