I could barely get the allen wrench in there last service. I'm about to service the diff oils an like to try doing it by the book this time.
Ye, sorry Marvin, been a bit busy lately.
Mate, copper on that bottom drain plug, the front differential.
Just put the drain plug back in finger tight, then trolley jack up the front, and then use a 10mm hex socket and a torque wrench set to 55Nms and spec up.
Drop the vehicle back down and fill with Castrol whatever and re install the filler plug. Torque to 39Nms.
That's it, for the front differential, unless the drain plug gets stuck on the housing and you strip out the 10mm hex hole in the plug.
Then it's a cold chisel, and be very careful you don't go through the plug into the diff housing.
The Roo.
