all you do is unscrew the drain plug (bottom plug) till it runs almost out...then plug it back up and take the filler plug (top plug) and fill it up till the fluids come out or 2 pints

 

take off the filler plug first.

always.

 

cool guys thanks i kind know how to do the basics but sometimes it the little things you dont do that can come back and bit you in the @**!

thanks guys

 

really...why is that?

 

im guessing to relieve pressure, or so it drains out faster or something.

 

o alright...that would make sense to drain faster

 

imagine this:

you take off the drain plug, drain fluid, all is going smoothly.


now youre ready to fill it up through the fill plug, but..
"OH ****. I can't get this plug off for the f***in life of me."

now youre stuck, with no way to fill it up or go get what you need to get the plug off.






just avoiding any possible nightmares.




for example, I had to use a breaker bar and a lot of force to get the fill plug off my tranny, but just used the socket wrench to get the drain plug off.

 

No....

It's so that if there is a problem with the fill cap.. you haven't drained the fluid out of the T-case without a way to fill it back up.

 

awww gotta love the way things can go from bad to totaly f#@#$ up, and trust me im a EMT/paramedic

 

really...why would it do that? just curious about it? i just never had a problem so i never encounter this yet lol

 

ohhh i gotcha im a 4wd noob still, that makes sense.

 

who knows. first time i've changed it since i bought it, so i dont know how long its been since that plug has moved, or who might have over tightened it.
