There's a fill plug on the rear of the knuckle...

If your wiper seals are in good condition and the knuckle "*****" aren't pitted fill with 90w gear lube.

If the seals/***** are in rough shape fill with 140w, but even then it will most likely leak out over time.

after i did the differentials i found the plug after that it was a piece of cake. Just when you dont know what you are looking for is it difficult. and there is no info on these on the internet almost like they dont exist
But they are ready for an offroad trip this weekend now
