The other two were clean. Manifold was full of rust flakes. Today I drained all three plugs in the rear end. What's the recommended fill, and how much does it take? Also, I was wondering if the brakes can be replaced without tearing apart the axle housings? I appreciate all you guys out there that help out the novices like me. Thanks again.

Use a drive punch to drive out pins from the inside to the outside. When you get that far, I'll tell you how to procede. Bob   [Reply]   [No Email]

Don't remember how much it takes but if you buy 5 gal. of it you will have a lot left over. Well I was going to be lazy but said what the heck and looked in my book and it says 6 qt in the tran, hyd, rear end   [Reply]   [Send Email]
