Default Differential Lubricant Change and some useful tips

HI Everyone,

I've added a photo gallery of the process I used to change out the differential lubricant. I realize this doesn't sound very exciting, but there are some useful tips included. Each pic has a caption explaining what is going on in the pic. Link is below.

PS. Does the spell checker work when you creating the thread tittle .....? Oh Well.

Great job, Rob! Thanks for taking the time to put this together!

Note that the later cars are a little different because of the trunk-mounted battery and what I recall to be a pre-existing hole in the bulkhead in the vicinity of where you drilled the hole for access to the drain plug. I replaced our fluid just last fall and unfortunately I didn't take photos, but perhaps someone with a later car will add some pix of the differences when they get a chance.

Thanks again, Rob! Definitely one for the HOW TO section!

Cheers,

Don
