ATC Crazy and Looney's methode is right on. One more helpful hint is to remove the oil plug first before you start draining the diff. If for some reason the plug cannot be removed and you have already drained the differential, you're in for more headachs.

ok this sounds easy!
so i went to O'reilly Auto parts today and he said they did not carry my gasket alls he had was like a rebuild gasket kit...or sumthin like that, he told me to go to FORD for the gasket! so i may go there or try AutoZone. ugghhh
And he also said it required 5 pints for the differential. Does this sound correct?

And yeah...the book says 5.7 pints for the rear end. I put in exactly 3 quarts and the 4oz bottle of friction modifer for my LS.
