wow that was fast. Actually that picture was exactly what I needed...just wanted to make sure where the fill and drain plugs were...pretty straight forward just like changing any other fluid. Thanks!!!!
Yep.. it's the easiest to change out of the tranny/transfer/diff. A funnel and hose should do just fine.
I usually take mine around the block then come back and check the fluid. I guess if you have the rear of the car in the air you could probably just turn the wheel a few times to get all the fluid to "settle".
