Wow you guys pay absurd amounts for labor. Even 60 dollars for both services is ridiculous. You could change both in an hour at home taking your time.

The hardest part of these jobs is having to smell the diff fluid.

I did it myself. Easy just need a good pump. I have a manual 1 quart pump.

Like this one -
Hycar plunger for positive forcing and suction. Has 1-pint capacity by volume. Oil and grease-resistant 11" flexible hose has positive seal. Knurled barrel 11" long x 2-1/4" diameter.
