I have a 99 2.5L manual tranny and there are a couple things I need to get done, but I have some questions first.
1. I need to change the ABS/Speed sensor in the rear differential housing. The bolt is super stuck/rusted on there and I might have rounded the damn bolt trying to remove it. I have a bed liner on the bed right now, so should I remove it and the bed to get better access or is that overkill? If I should remove it, how does one get a bedliner out of the bed?
2. The rear differential seems to be leaking some oil from where it attaches to the rear end of the drive shaft. Not a whole lot, it seems, but it's definitely leaking. Can anyone tell me what the likely source of the leak is and possibly how to fix it?
3. I want to drain the tranny and refill it with fresh fluid, but the fill hole seems pretty hard to pour liquid into. Any tips on how to fill the tranny more easily?
Thanks,
