I suppose my question is, is 4l enough in these boxes and also how have the rest of you removed the reverse switch to fill it or 3 is it possible to put the remainder .8l in through the shifter like I have filled all my other cars (except my gtr, funny story that one... but anyway.) yeah any help would be appriciated.cheers adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IN short 4l is fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could try a crows foot instead of a spanner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your on the normal axle stands everyone buys from supercheap or repco are they maxed out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pulls straight off to reveal the two bullet terminal on the switch. With this removed you can us a spanner etc to remove the switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
