Good excuse to do a diff oil change. Make sure that you can remove the fill bolt before you drain it - pretty sure it's a 10mm allen key. Bondhaus make a nice long one that gives good leverage.If you really had to, you could remove the drain bolt, bold a thumb over the hole and fit a new washer to the bolt with your free hand.Diff oil: I use Penrite Pro Gear 80-140. It's expensive and heavy duty, but does the job well and doesn't require any additives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was last serviced a while ago now, maybe 20-30 thousand! Hard to recall.Was surprised how hot it was even after sitting for a couple of hours.Two of the other bolts I could access were a little loose, not much though. Tightened them up pretty good and degreased the area so I'll check for drips tomorrow (maybe). Also I have the plain filler bolt it seems, which is too big for any of my sockets. Forgot to measure it but I know there are multiple sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cradle out for new diff?(I wish)Could it be an axle seal? Just doing some googling. Guess we can have a look on the hoist. I'll buy some oil beforehand.
