The beers are for the host, not me. I'm no shop guy, but I'm not THAT daft

Diff fluid is super easy. Basically the same as doing the tranny fluid. Just make sure you have new crush washers.
Spoken by someone with experience .

Also, remember to remove the fill before the drain, just in case you can't get the fill off for some reason!
Good advice. Thanks guys!

I had not expected it to turn out like this lol.

I'm down for whatever, but once all my supplies arrive I'll be looking to do the service pretty soon after that.

Evan was that you pulling into C&C Saturday around 9:30ish? We were on our way to the car to leave when I saw (what I thought) was your car pulling in.

^Indeed it was. I got held up waiting for some friends that were late getting to my house that morning, so we ended up coming pretty late.

just a tip if you decide to change diff fluid. The fill bolt is a 23mm. For my ap1, a socket will not fit at all because of a bar blocking the way. I had to get a 23mm box end wrench. A adjustable wrench is too big and will hit the fins on the diff/pumpkin. Also, no way to get the exact torque specs on the fill bolt, just make sure you don't strip it while tightening. 33lbs shouldn't take too much effort, just have to guesstimate.

Yep, forgot I had to buy a wrench just for that bolt
