So... after doing several diff fluid changes now, and getting REAAAALY tired of figuring out how to empty the whole jug I went on a mission...

There had to be something out there to make this a simple task...

And then the answer came while wandering the aisles of Salvo daydreaming...

Fluid transfer pump...

This is a link to summit for the same thing... but Salvo had it on the shelf, as did Harbor Freight...

It was a dream come true... emptied an entire quart of fluid in about 5 pumps... refilled Bobbi's front diff with almost 2 quarts in about 5 minutes... including putting the plug back in...

Now no need to be a contortionist to figure out what angle you need to put the bottle/funnel etc. and small enough to take with me on the trails

Just 1 hose in the jug, and 1 in the diff... then pump away...

Hope it helps...

Oh I have to get one of those!!!! What an awesome gadget!!

Bought mine at Advanced Auto, used it in the parking lot. Spilled nary a drop. This is the best invention ever! And it cost less than $12.

Changing diff fluid is so easy now that I have the right sized hex head for the plug, and the transfer pump. Might even keep up with the maintenance this way.
