Default T-Case Fluid change [flush], NV233 ...

Q: Can I jack up one front wheel, and one rear wheel, and spin up the TC fluid in the TC to get a good drain?

I want to do the TC Fluid twice; I have not done it on this one before. 200k now, bought with 100k 10 years ago.

I'll drain it, put in cheap fluid, spin it up warm, drain it, and re-fill with good fluid.

So, can I free up one front wheel, and one rear wheel, to free the drivetrain and warm up the fluid before the second draining???

Which side would I suspend?

ed.:
I hung the LEFT rear after putting new fluid in the rear diff, to get that new fluid circulated...

I contacted 4 Wheel Parts & Hardware, about fluid change.

THey said that the ATF in the T/C is thin enough, that it doesn't matter much if it's warmed up, for a good drain.

They said also that running cheap fluid through it, for a day or 2, and then draining and filling with premium fluid, just wasn't necessary - EVEN WITH 200K ON THE T/C.................................

ed.:
And as well, I asked about pouring some fluid through it after drained; they said Brake Cleaner.
