Thanks Gary, I must ask the hard questions 8-) . I was trying to keep from making a big ole mess before takeing out the diff.. Hopeing for a tip like maybe one of the bottom studs-nuts could be taken out easily. I will try out your suction gun tip. I may try to find a pipethread bung for a square hole or allen hole plug. Where would I find that??
