What's the access port on top of the diff? 14mm hex, 5mm allen, 10mm socket, what?
And what's this "pump oil can" Loren mentioned? I had to use a length of heater hose and it sucked. On 5/11/06, Loren Faeth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
What they said, and if you can't find an easier way to get the ATF in the trans and the lube in the diff, I have used a pump oil can. It takes a while, but it will put the stuff into hard to get to places, and doesn't not cost a fortune or tie up a lot of space.
