Changing rear end fluid
Hi
Just changed the rear end fluid. What a pain trying to get the fluid back into the Pumpkin. Does anyone have a secret to make it easier, special pump etc.
I have a 98 4X4.
Thanks

A couple of things: I see the guys at the shop use something like a grease gun; they open the end, pour the lubricant in, seal it up, put a hose in the diff, and then shove the plunger up, forcing the lube in.
I just put one of those conical nipples on the end of lube bottle, attach a hose to it, shove the hose in the pumpkin, and squeeze the bottle. It's a little hard to get it all the way out, but it works.

Boat store on the boat section at Walmart normally has pumps that screw onto quart bottles to fill outdrives, works great. I have seen them at Checkers lately in the gear lube section. Also if you are doing more than one of these a drill pump works better than anything.

Below is a picture of my home made rig. I use it for all kinds of fluids.
I Installed a tire valve , but I never use it. You dont need it.
All you need is few hand pumps to pressurize it, just watch the fluid go in.
The tank costs about $15 at a local Lowes.
