Help...Ralliart Rear Differential Location?
 
I'm doing fluid changes this weekend. I was going to follow this EvoX thread on where the Transfer Case, SST Transmission and Rear Diff locations are but I can't locate the rear diff shown in that thread. I'm assuming the rear diff on our Ralliarts are different than the EvoX? I took some pics, please tell me if this is the rear diff on the Ralliarts:

This is me crawling in from the back of the car, the picture is facing towards the front of the car, right is passenger side, and left is driver side.

That would be it. The fill plug requires a 24mm socket or wrench and the drain plug requires a 6mm allen wrench.

thanks for the quick response and additional info! much appreciated...

jeez how do you break the drain plug loose? the plug is all rusted up and it didnt look like it's gonna come loose at all....I just put some PB plaster on it and ill see if it'll help.

question on filling the fluid tho....i got a hand pump to do the job and I was testing it out in my garage first it made ALOT of air bubbles and the LSD fluid has been sitting in a bucket for the last 2 hours and the bubbles still havent settled....would these air bubbles cause a problem when I fill my Transfer Case up?

Just keep filling the diff until fluid comes out. This should remove any air bubbles. If this doesn't inspire confidence just buy another pump. They are cheap enough.

Bubbles will dissolve through time - no worries.

The pump on the ralliart is the same (AFAIK) as an evo 8/9, no AYC. So yea, get the fill plug loose first, then the drain. PB Blaster was the right choice :D With the car level, fill until it starts to lightly come out of the fill hole, seal it up and off you go!

Hmm, are you sure the drain plug is a 6 mm allen? Even a 3/8" (9.5 mm) was too loose for mine. I'm guessing mine's a 10 mm. Thanks.
