Hey everybody,

I went to town and changed the fluid in the rear diff on my 2004 dodge ram 1500 4x4. However, I went to change the fluid in the front diff and I can't seem to get the front cover off. What's holding me up is that one damn bolt that is right behind the power steering. I can't seem to get my socket wrench in there as it is too tight. I also tried a crescent, but that won't fit either....... I didn't drain the fluid and put the bolts back on so I'm still able to use it...lol..

I don't have a 13mm wrench so I'm not too sure if the socket end on that will fit in there.

How about you guys, how in the hell did you guys get that off?

 

Used a spanner and patience my friend.
Don't forget, these front diffs need a fluid change every 15K miles like the rear, on a 1500.
Al.

 

Grr another trip to crappy tire...lol.. Thanks.
