Front Differential Oil Change

Dumb question. Where in the heck is the drain point for the front differential on my 99 4WD? Maybe I'm blind, but I've crawled underneath twice and can only find the fill point near the top rear of the unit.

(And to those of you who love your '99 Explorers, consider yourself lucky. I traded in a 1992 after over 130K basically trouble free miles. My 1999 has been a real disappointment, needing one repair after another...Ford's quality of componentry and workmanship clearly slipped in the seven intervening years.)

Front Differential Oil Change

There are no drains on the front or the rear diffys on yours, you have to suck the fluid out when changing it...
