Cool avatar
Not sure whats going in the Jeep tho
-
We can only wonder!
I hope its a left hand drive, and that its not me with the lipstick. :
-
Can anyone please confirm that niether of these axles have a diff oil drain plug, and therefore the cover has to be removed in order to drain and refill the oils. I have had a quick look but everywhere is caked in crap.
-
you will need to suck out the oil through the hole that you fill it. or remove the cover. or you could always park the jeep on the tail and poor it out.
-
yup no drains pull the covers gives you a good op to check for any damage or wear off intrnals
-
Could anyone please check 4WD.com for me to confirm that I have the right diff cover gaskets. Part No. 3172122 and 34684.
The AMC 20 seems straight foward enough, but not too sure about the Dana 30. :?

If it helps, i just use instant gasket (the silicone stuff) works fine, no leaks
