About to do differential fluid.. need tips
Any tips?
I just take the cover off correct? Then I wipe off the old stuff, put on new sealant and put the cover back on. Wait a really long time and then fill to the fill plug level. Or is there a different place to set the level at?
Well, anyways, thanks ya'll.

Awe, ok. I have a big powerbuilt pump or a medium syringe, so I'll figure it out. Definately thanks for your help!

It's in a really awkward position... it's on the FRONT of the pumpkin (towards the front of the car) on the driver's side. It's above a little flange. You will need to pick up a funnel with a tube running out of it to fill it

You really can't overfill it. You can, but it will just **** out the vent on the axletube. I would just fill it till it spills out the fill hole and call it a day.
