front and rear diff question
#4
As stated above, the front diff has drain and fill plugs. The rear diff only has a fill plug, drain by removing cover.
The front diff is filled in two ways: get a hose that will wedge into the fill port or just use the vent hose already there, clamped to the radiator shroud.
The rear requires a hose to fill as well. Be sure to get a new gasket for the rear cover. If the rear cover is really rusty, easier to just get a new cover.
Did this job on my '02 last year. Not a bad job....bit messy, but not bad. Do the transfer case at the sametime. Note: transfer case uses a different lube than the diffs.
