Hey everyone, I could use a bit of help.
My rear end is leaking like a stuck pig, and I want it to stop. I've Picked up the oil and pump, but I was hoping some one had some quik instructions so i do it right.
Thanks for the help.

Pump??? Why do you need any kind of pump???

Remove the diff cover.
Scrape off all the old silicone sealant.
Apply new sealant (or use a gasket like a "lubelocker" as i did).
Bolt diff cover back on.
Add your fav flavor of gear lube.

weather you use a gasket or silicone just make sure your surfaces are real clean.Lay your diff cover on a piece if glass to make sure its nice and flat also.You may need to flaten around the bolt holes a little.

sometimes it's easier to get the fluid in there with a oil pump, less mess. but it can be done without one.
