Hey guys,

I have a 2001 Sport and wanted to change the front differential oil. Whats the best way to do this? It doesn't look like I would be able to pull the front cover off.

Thanks!:exp:
 






The *proper* way to do it is to drop the front axle, pop the cover, drain it, refill it, and reinstall the axle.

The easy way to do it is to drill a hole in the bottom of the housing and install a self-tapping drain plug before refilling it.

Many people on here simply insert a small piece of tubing through the fill plug and pump out everything they can.

There are about a hundred ways to do it in between.

Good luck!
