Gear oil

Itkix · February 13th, 2009, 02:57 PM

This might be a stupid question for some of yall but where do you drain and fill the rear end oil, I cant find a drain plug or fill plug anywhere on the gear housing or near the drive shaft.

It should be on the back of it (closer to the front is the car) and on the drivers side.

Nope double checked no bolts to unscrew to let fluid in or out I cant figure it out. I could take the 12 or so bolts out the diff cover but I dont know how I'd get fluid back in.

That's odd. take a few pics of the diff and post them up. Maby we can spot something for ya.

Got it there is no drain hole had to take the whole diff. cover off to drain the fluid, found the fill hole drivers side at the top where you can barely see it. At least I got to check the gears. Thanks

Did the Royal Purple and that turned out to be a job thought it would be easy, but now I got all fluids changed.
