great DIY. changed the diff fluid out today and man did it smell. smells like sulfur x100
took me about 15 minutes to do it so ill be sure to do it every few oil changes.

How the hell are you guys pumping this fluid into the diff? I have broken 2 pumps in as many days (including the nice red one as shown here)

my contribution to this topic would be that you avoid doing this fluid change in the cold of winter...lol. The oil was so thick i couldn't pump it into the diff housing...lol.

just dumped my diff fluid, it was Redline 75w90, looked pretty clean and no smell 
. One of my washers was so thin that it is permanently embedded in the drain bolt. There is no way I'm getting it off, it is paper thin. Gonna put a new one on top of the old one.
I'm filling with Amsoil 75w-110, seems like a great fluid. This viscosity puts it smack dab in the middle of the SAE90 viscosity range, which I like better than being towards the lower end of the spectrum.

Someone suggested to mark a line with a marker and turn the screw until it lines up.

How do you know that the torque wrench is 33 lb-ft when you tighten the drain/fill bolts?
