Pictures of the DD (Dirty
Differential!)
I drained the old junk first, without thinking about how to get new
oil back in. I knew I had to open the fill plug, and I knew I had
the right deep impact socket and impact wrench. However, I just didn't
realize that the impact wrench would not fit in that space between the
differential and the gas tank. Oh woes me.. I finally solved
this delimma by removing the end piece of the differential. Pics
below!
The old oil stunk so bad, we had to leave and come back after we got
some fresh air. Think of 12 year old severely burnt oil and metal
shavings in a thick sludgy goo. Well, that's what came out!
And in went 1.2 quarts of Royal Purple gear oil, 75w90.. aww yeah, after
cleaning what I could of the differential. The parts cleaner came
in real handy tonight.
