The front differential wasn't leaking yet,<br> but I wanted to go ahead and change it out as well because it's easy,<br> cheap,<br> and good insurance in case it hasn't been done in awhile. It's good to change the fluid out every 30k miles (synthetic fluid will last a little longer),<br> and since ours has almost 150k,<br> I wanted to do it since i'm not sure when it was done last. This is a SUPER easy task anyone can accomplish. <hr>\n\nBefore removing the cover,<br> you always want to be sure the fill plug can be removed. Let's say theoretically you remove the cover,<br> then find out the fill plug is rusted in and wont come out....how are you doing to put the fluid back in? So it's best to be sure it will come loose first. \n![DSC_1341.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmaYoLaVoDAGoHDX4EnxzGx1LXfePJvnvVXxyd8gFvSRQD\/DSC_1341.jpg)\n\nAfter that take out all the bolts except for one at the top. Only loosen the top one,<br> that way the cover doesn't come falling down and make a big~~ger~~ mess. Still waiting on that Dewalt endorsement...\n![DSC_1343.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmTxEiuk7Wpt4GiadkMgboSrqVuH72iSckxd7JMMz5utgr\/DSC_1343.jpg)\n\nNext put a chisel\/screwdriver\/pry bar\/putty knife between the axle and cover to separate the cover from it and begin draining. \n![DSC_1344.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmTQZZxV1Y45WRME9PxMGji6GhUkQusc5VyQmQqSq4XpPq\/DSC_1344.jpg) \n\nAfter it's done draining,<br> take out the last bolt and remove the cover. Then clean the mating surfaces on both the axle and cover to be sure the new gasket will stick. I used a wire wheel and steel wool,<br> then wiped down the surface with brake cleaner to remove any oil or grease. \n![DSC_1349.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmPp6yeXs3xJcUWMscGjWXNkZHnbWZYLx3KnWsaDFWoFNK\/DSC_1349.jpg)\n\n![DSC_1350.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmSeHNrZvVeaQH8j3uFT9nFuFJtD3qL1NVKoNjj3JoJM9Y\/DSC_1350.jpg)\n\nAfter that use a new gasket or just put a nice bead of RTV around it. I usually spread mine around because i'm weird. \n![DSC_1351.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmXuZx1aktbYFgh6JQsvZmnYtrZhm43dCTgD48EZyzoJnc\/DSC_1351.jpg)\n\nPut your cover back on. the RTV package recommends to let it dry for an hour,<br> then torque it. However not everyone follows those rules...~~including me.~~\n![DSC_1352.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmZbc4gTu5RK3hFgGtyEig6CKtVXoJuPo1o3p1oJQSMsgR\/DSC_1352.jpg)\n\nI let mine dry overnight before putting any fluids in,<br> however I know people that put it right in with no problems. Personal preference. \n![DSC_1353.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmWdUcTnzUL5Ai775h1mqdJT9pxcMiTisUbEpPbw5WH6gw\/DSC_1353.jpg)\n\nWhen the fluid starts coming out,<br> that means it's full. Our Jeep takes almost 2 quarts. Just reinstall the fill plug,<br> and you're done. \n![DSC_1356.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmZbvUbj23y4tR4Q9weGxtzopZqMuAyM3DLoVKcNZeV874\/DSC_1356.jpg)\n<hr>\n\n<center><h3>*I LOVE getting feedback!
