Diff Service

[CJ_AK]

Hey Guys,

Got under the my 03 BA Auto sedan to change the oil in my diff.

It appears that the IRS is hard up against the diff housing. Im having difficulty unbolting the 19mm refill bolt.

Has anyone had the same problem?? If so, how the hell did you get around it?? Is this the correct way to refill the mongrol??

Im guessing I'll have to get the breaker bar out!!

That's the way to do it. Sometimes it's easies to get a chisel and give the edge of the nut a hit. This will help free it.

you just need a shortish socket with the right lever and its all good. I did my diff oil last week, only 30,000 on the clock but it was disgusting inside.

what oil dd you choose to use xtb?

Not sure what oil Peter Warren Ford used in mine, but the job card/receipt shows that they addded a Nulon additive to it also.

I used the Nulon 80W140 Heavy Duty LSD oil with the G70 additive.

Thanks for the responses guys.

im using Penrite 80 - 140. Its the recommended viscocity.

Jono- would have to be a pretty short socket, the IRS is so friggin hard up against the diff.

might give it another go on the weekend.
