I have a small leak coming from the drain bolt on my Diff and I am guessing that this is a result of the washer being replaced the wrong way round.

So I need to drain and replace the oil

It doesn't look easy to work under the car to replace the oil, anyone got any tips.

TIA

 

Shouldn't take you longer than 30 mins Steven. It's very easy and no need to jack the car:

I was out this afternoon looking for a 23mm closed end wrench and Socket. Not easy to find one

 

You don't need the socket as it won't fit in the space. Finding the wrench is near on impossible - online is the only way to get one.

 

The drain plug I removed from my old Diff was 23mm and the plug on the diff on the car aint 24mm either, hence the need for a socket .....

I was hoping to do this tomorrow

 

IIRC - the drain bolt is 24mm and the fill is 23mm. Ian may have one as he's quite close by.

 

You could borrow mine but I am going out to see my folks and not sure what time I'll be back. Sorry.

 

I always jack up the car. An oil syringe can come in very handy because to get the oil in there is a right pain. I have one for the diff oil and one for the GB. I have a socket for the sump bold and an open spanner for the fill one. I didn't know it was difficult to find these, I have owned these for a while now.

Also a good oil. What will you be using?

 

I got some Redline from the recent GB.
