The spec to which you are referring (8.8) must be some metric
equivalent to the english/SAE hardness grade.
I don't know how to convert these specs (Tom Wiencek?).
I would recommend that you purchase some replacements from
Sunbeam Specialties here in California USA.
I know this will probably be brutally expensive, but its the only way
that I could recommend to be certain that the material is the right
hardness, has the correct dimensions ECT.
Did the old ones have a grade stamped on them?
I looked at some on my spare diff, and they all say 5.5 AUTO.
Hey Lauri,
Is it still light out at midnight in your neck of the woods?
