Thanks for the concise video, I read some forum posts and people were saying you need to take the axle out to do it this way lol. Was not too bad using a swivel like you did. I changed mine at 80k miles and the fluid that came out looked clean with 0 debris or anything. I think it shifts slightly smoother now, but we all know jobs like this can have a strong placebo effect Just a note for anyone doing this, you want a shallow socket and a short swivel, there is not a lot of room in there once you start backing out the bolt. If your swivel/socket is on the long side, you can use them to break the bolt free and finish off with a short wrench
I went with Red Line Synthetic Gear Oil MT-85 GL-4 75W-85 GL-4 1 Quart | RL 50504 I saw some people on the forums recommending it and it was readily available for me @@Defiantsynthetics
Awesome , I like to make simple to the point videos to help people , not the typical wait 10min until they get to the point videos , no one has time for that.
Just did this. That bolt was a whore. A short swivel and socket and it's doable. I was able to sneak a 17 mil wrench from above to help tighten it. Thanks for the great video, helped immensely
I'll be doing this soon. I did see a post that said the fill plug is the allen wrench plug towards the Front, what is that for then if not the fill hole? thanks
If its not in the manual for the drain and fill then don't touch it. There are many bolts and plugs that "look" like drain plugs but are not, removing the wrong bolt could release something internal that will require disassembly to repair so tripple check your bolts. And use torque specs , this is an aluminum housing which is very easy to crack if you over tighten.

Just curious what brand fluid did you use ?
