<![CDATA[Diff fluid pump]]>Need to change the fluid in my diff. Looked up several DIY's for it and it seems pretty simple. My only question concerns putting the new fluid back in. I keep seeing references to pumping it back into the top hole, but, not sure what I'd pump it with. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Found a pump like the ones a few of you mentioned at Auto Zone. Now to pick up some fluid, and then make sure I can get the two plugs out before I start.

You could even drain it this way too I suppose, just reverse the hoses.

To the OP one key thing in changing diff or tyranny fluid if you've never done it before. Make sure you can open the fill plug before you remove the drain plug.

You can buy pumps specifically for this at Auto Zone for $8. Threads right onto the diff fluid container.

This, they look like a hand soap pump but bigger.

I ran the tubing from the fill hole up out the top of the passenger side rear wheel-well and had a friend pour the fluid into the funnel while I held the other end in the fill hole. It worked quite well actually
