My rear diff has been leaking fluid for about the past year now and still hasnt run dry. I was going to change the fluid and seal it all back up nice but i ran into a problem. I can't not budge that fill plug on housing. Since i need to fill i read that i could use a bag with fluid in and stick it on in the housing and seal it up as a last resort. I wanted to know if i could fill through hole where the speed censor is located. I realize i would have to measure out the 2.6 quarts instead of filling to the top of the fill plug. Will this work or are there problems with this method?? My dad and i tried with the truck on ramps using a 24" breaker bar and 3" extensition trying to get that fill plug out but the edges are starting to round. If i could put it through that speed sensor hole it would make things easier but i wanted to check before actually attempting this and finding out the hard way that it wouldn't work. Thanks for help in advance
