Transmission Fluid

Does anyone know how hard it is to fully drain an automatic transmission? I want to put in royal purple atf and gear oil in the axles and want to know how hard it would be. Any hints or sugestions would help.

Thanks, Bryan

Thanks Hink10, that doesn't look too bad at all. I guess I know what I am doing this weekend.

Thanks again, Bryan

One thing, make sure you get the hose on the return line very tight when you are flushing out the old fluid. Once you start running it through the gears, the pressure increases. When I did mine the hose came off and I had quite a mess in the driveway. Other then that, everything when good.
