Cleaning and Changing Oil in Diffs

[wolffman]

Hey Guys
Was just wondering what your steps are for changing oil in a diff? Or if you are cleaning them. Do you get all the old oil out and if so how do you go about that? What products or procedures do you use?

Here's a link to a decent diff rebuild video from Ryan Lutz, one of Team Durango's drivers.

I done mine last night. As per the video above, i don't use shock oil but i do spray in some brake cleaner and/or WD40 to thin out the oil.

Once everything is out i spray the gears with brake cleaner and the inside of the casing and wipe with a rag.

I never manage to get it fully clean but it will always be fine.
