[QUOTE="IgnoreMe, post: 6346767, member: 551352"] just do it yourself. its very simple. 1) if you have a diff with a drain and a fill plug, pop the fill plug first (nothing worse than draining the diff and then realizing you cant open the fill plug lulz), then pop the drain plug. then reinstall the drain plug and fill the diff with a good synthetic fluid (its been 5-10 buck and you will only need 1 most likely) until it starts to drip out of the fill hole (or whatever your vehicle mfg wants) then tighten. if you dont have a drain plug 2)loosen the lowest bolts first, pry up on the diff cover let it drain, then pop off all the other bolts, pull the cover off, clean the mating surfaces using a razor or gasket cleaning tool if you got it, apply a good sealant or gasket (whatever the mfg uses) and fill with fluid. simple, quick and easy. ***it is very important to also fill up with a friction modifier IF your mfg calls for it. for example, fords with limited slip need regular diff fluid AND a friction modifier, or you can do some damage. if its a regular diff, you wont need it unless the mfg still wants it in there*** [/QUOTE]
