Differential Fluid Change Questions
« Reply #15 on: July 22, 2007, 02:21:37 AM »
I just did mine yesterday.  I take my cover and give it a light going over on the wire wheel.  Then I use a gasket scraper on the pumpkin.  I have never been terribly finicky and have never had a leak in the approximately 20 diff fluid changes I have done to my Jeep.  Well, except for the pinion seal leaks! ;)

Use a wire wheel on a drill or a piece of sandpaper, it does not have to be perfectly clean.

Perfect, all done. One last question. I am pretty sure the seal is good, but what should i be looking for as far as leaks (just in case), is it just gonna be puddles under the diffs when I park?
