ummm...have you even looked at the differential? It is VERY self-explanitory.

It is...except always, I mean always, remove the fill plug first

Get a pump to put the oil back in. It makes shit soooo much easier.

yep i got one and it took about 2 fills of the pump to get it back in. easy as pie.

jetjock, you're back? and someone explain why you need to take the fill plug out first. is that to let air in as the oil is flowing out?

 

[johnathan1]

In case the filler is seized, and you've already drained all of the oil out, and can't get any back in....meaning you can't drive the car...lol.

Wow... thats so obvious that I never would have thought of that. seriously.

what oil did you buy?

make sure if it's regular 75w-90 gear oil that you put in some frictoin modifier or you'll burn up the LSD clutch packs.
