The hardest part the first time you do it is finding a 23mm wrench for the fill plug.

Differential Fluid Change
When I look back on all of the Do It Yourself tips that Dave (XViper) shared with the S2Ki.com I have to voice my opinion what a shame it is (IMHO) that some people flamed him to the point that he quit posting. What a loss.

yea next time i won't try sqeezing the bottle again. I changed my tranny fluid but redline doesn't use the standard cap size. so i poured it into an advance auto parts oil bottle and while sqeezing it half a bottle of precious MT-90 exploded onto my driveway. lol

I've tried that before, Joe. It didn't work too well for me- even after microwaving the fluid. I use a longer hose and have the Mrs. hold it above the wheelwell and squeeze.
That exactly what I do but use my tow hook to hold the bottle.

So did all of you already get your diff fluids changed, or did some people still need to do it? I need to do that, tranny fluid, and oil. Would be real nice if there was a shop I could trust that could do them and actually use LE607 and Synchromesh FM. I used to just go to Peter's place.

Any recommendations?
