i used the search function as well as searched google and yahoo, but still havent found an answer on this question. my girl friend has an 05 explorer sport trac and this past weeked i did a full fluid change on the engine oil, transfer case, transmission (new filter also), and rear differential. i got fluid for the front diff as well, but when i got underneath of it to change itl i couldnt figure out how you are supposed to drain the thing. theres barely enough room to get the cover loose to drain it, let alone scrape the silicone and gasket off and then apply silicone to it and get it to seal back up. is there a way to do it without removing the front D shaft and then removing the hub bearings and cv shafts so that the axle housing can be removed and a thorough job can be done? i know i could use a suction gun to get the majority of it out, but that doesnt seem like the right way to do it so im asking for help from other who have done this.
