Sorry for the stupid question, I just have never done it and would like to give it a shot while I change my tranny fluid as well. How hard is it to do?

 

There should be a filler plug on the side of the diff housing somewhere. OK make sure you've got a new gasket for the diff cover as well.
Unbolt the diff cover let it all come out. Fit new gasket, fill up the required amount via a tube into the filler plug hole et voila!

Mark.

 

Wow great, sounds easy enough!

 

iv never done it on my ta but you probably only need to take out the plug and suck it out. then refill as much as possible

 

RTV works just as well as a new gasket, if not better.

 

do not do it this way, sorry man
If you refill as much as possible the pumpkin will be entirly submerged. Also if you take the cover off you can inspect the gears. The spec book will tell you how many quarts to use. I always use mobli synthetic for gear lub. I also do not use the gasket just orage sylicone, the gasket always leaks on me maybe I am not the best, but it always works.

On the 10 bolt it's on the passenger side of the housing in front of the axle. On the 9 bolt and Dana 44 it's on the cover.

 

No thanks if they are anything like the guys at my local Autozone.
