I need to replace the fluid in my rear diff, but have never changed fluid in an axle without a drainplug. When I remove the 8 or 10 bolts (on the rear of the differential) and take the cover off, is there a drain plug under the cover, or is the cover itself whats holding the fluid in...? If the cover itself is holding everything in, I assume theres some sort of O-ring there to seal it that should be replaced also. I only have a Haynes manual for the BII, I havent acquired one for the explorer that the axles came from, so I was hoping someone else running the 8.8 could help me out!
Thanks in advance for any advice!
