I am still holding out hope that the leak is something fixable without removing it I guess. But the first order of business is to clean it up just so I can tell where it's leaking. The thing is a serious mess. I'll get some pics at some point. I was thinking of spraying some degreaser on it and heading to a car wash with a spray nozzle. Some car washes get all soggy and hard to light if you degrease the parts at their shop. Just so you know. It's an OSHA pollution thing.


I can manually slide it forward and back to lube it without any sort of disassembly? Nope. There is a fitting on the slip that you can put grease into.

Never done this either, but I'll look it up. Sounds like something I could tackle once I figure it out. Post a pic of your diff, and we'll point out where the fill plug is. This is super-easy to do.


Thanks again! And glad you are, because I will holla again with questions for sure!
