changing gear oil?
before i go out and pop the cover off of my rearend and buy a new one, how do i refill the fluid when i want to put it all back together, if i don't have a drain plug on my cover?

there's a fill plug on the upper right front side of the center section. should be a 3/8" square female, it might be hard to see or find because it's filled with dirt.

It's also a pain to get the bottle squirting into there... You'll be holding the bottle up, at a funny angle, squeezing it, for a good long time.
My favorite way is to get some 3/8" clear tubing, put it on the spout of the bottle, stick the other end of the hose in the rear end, then stand up and squeeze the bottle until it's oozing on the ground. Done.
