Front diff oil change
Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knows or has a link to show front differential oil change. Just did my rear today, had the drain plug so made it easy. Next time I'll probably pull the cover off to check things out.
Now I want to do my front, anyone know if the front has a drain plug also, and is there pictures anywhere?
Lots of videos and stuff for rear, but nothing good for front.

Thanks all!

Is there a drain?
Anyone?

No drain. Pull the diff cover. Inspect the gears, clean the cover, RTV and reinstall. Fill with a good 75W-90 through hole in the diff cover with the rubber plug. Fill until fluid comes out the fill hole. PITA yes! Especially if you've got skid plates.
