Fix something before it gets broke though...

Front and rear diffs can be done in about an hour but be sure to do it after driving for a while to warm up that oil. It will flow out way quicker.

Sorry rh you need gear oil 75w-140. 3 quarts (you only use 2 and a 1/5th btw)
You need rvt silicone a few bucks no big deal ask for it they got it.
you need a 1/2 inch socket set.
a screw driver.
emery cloth
carb cleaner or brake cleaner
thats about it. the rvt takes an hour or two to set so don't be in a hurry to put the oil in when done.
I also leaned my axles too make sure fluid got to the wheel bearings, seeing as they nwere drained for a while. I know i'm old school!!
