you will need to buy a small suction pump to extract oils out i did mine on flat and rolled underneath. if you have limited slip diff on back make sure supplier knows this. mine did not had to change it again. pump cost 10 pounds. took about an hour. garry

The diffs all have drain plugs no need to suck it out take her for a run a long run to make them all hot then drop them all level ground is best to ensure most of the old stuff comes out. Plenty of room to lay under without it jacked up. You could use 4 ramps if u have them. A suction gun is best for putting the new fluid in

Take the fill plug out first, because if you drain it and find you can't get the fill plug out you're in trouble

And don't do what I did and lie underneath the box. Cos when you drop the drain plug you get a crotch full of stinky oil.

I filled my gear box oil from above engine. Piece of tube and a funnel.I got underneath and held the tube in the fill hole while the grandson poured the oil into the funnel. Easy.

If you can't get the drain plug out just do this !
