much easier!

I followed suggestions/ideas from a couple of sources and changed my front axle grease on the 14 F150 by drill, drain and tap method. was easy. worst part was right as I was ready to start the project and laying out tools was the realization that the brass plug I bought {would have preferred steel but none local} was a odd size at 7mm which I didn't have and couldn't find local {allen wrench} finally pilfered one from my boy and all went well. kind of a switch me pilfering tools from him!

So you just drill and tapped it for a drain plug? I like that idea. I need to do them on my ‘13. I may try this. Would it work on the rear also?

It's always an odd feeling when you pilfer tools from your kid, until it hits you that you "pilfered tools from your kid" and it turns to pride.

it would work on the rear but a little different animal being cast iron. to me it's easy enough to drop cover. it's well worth it to be able to clean it out and look things over. the front end gets so much less use {on most} that I'm willing to fore go the cleaning and inspection. Jim

Do you have a link to other forums that suggested this?
Might be a handy mod for the future for me
