the side just one corner at a time you're also going to need some fluid you

you're also going to need some fluid you

you're also going to need some fluid you need 75 w90 synthetic fluid um you're

need 75 w90 synthetic fluid um you're

need 75 w90 synthetic fluid um you're going to need some paper towels some

going to need some paper towels some

going to need some paper towels some gloves you're also going to need a 14 mm

Allen bit they come in you can actually

Allen bit they come in you can actually buy a three-piece set in the auto part

buy a three-piece set in the auto part

buy a three-piece set in the auto part store and then you're going to need an

store and then you're going to need an

store and then you're going to need an appropriate ratch to go along with those

appropriate ratch to go along with those

appropriate ratch to go along with those if you have a larger floor jack this is

if you have a larger floor jack this is

if you have a larger floor jack this is the jacking point it's going to be on

the jacking point it's going to be on

the jacking point it's going to be on the front in the middle of this aluminum

the front in the middle of this aluminum

the front in the middle of this aluminum skid plate which is directly right

skid plate which is directly right

underneath the front

underneath the front subframe there are going to be four Jack

subframe there are going to be four Jack

subframe there are going to be four Jack pads underneath the four corners of the

pads underneath the four corners of the

pads underneath the four corners of the car these are the front ones if you

car these are the front ones if you

car these are the front ones if you don't have these Jack pads some cars are

don't have these Jack pads some cars are

don't have these Jack pads some cars are missing these then just go ahead and put

missing these then just go ahead and put

missing these then just go ahead and put your jack stand directly underneath this

your jack stand directly underneath this

your jack stand directly underneath this uh this area this is the reinforced area

uh this area this is the reinforced area

uh this area this is the reinforced area where you can actually support the car

where you can actually support the car

where you can actually support the car on a jack stand anywhere else is going

on a jack stand anywhere else is going

on a jack stand anywhere else is going to be a little bit too thin metal in

to be a little bit too thin metal in

to be a little bit too thin metal in order to support it so if you don't have

order to support it so if you don't have

order to support it so if you don't have a large floor jack like this one and you

a large floor jack like this one and you

a large floor jack like this one and you only have a smaller 2ton floor jack like

only have a smaller 2ton floor jack like

only have a smaller 2ton floor jack like this one then it's probably going to be

this one then it's probably going to be

this one then it's probably going to be easiest for you to actually Jack the car

easiest for you to actually Jack the car

easiest for you to actually Jack the car up using the Jack pad right here and

idea to take the fill plug off to uh

idea to take the fill plug off to uh give air a way to get in

give air a way to get in

give air a way to get in there so that might be a little tip for

there so that might be a little tip for

there so that might be a little tip for you that way you don't get splattered

you that way you don't get splattered

you that way you don't get splattered with this really smelly differential

oil in fact you know what let's do

oil in fact you know what let's do

oil in fact you know what let's do that cuz this stuff smells terrible by

that cuz this stuff smells terrible by

that cuz this stuff smells terrible by the way so let's get the fill plug out

the way so let's get the fill plug out

the way so let's get the fill plug out of there it shouldn't leak because your

of there it shouldn't leak because your

of there it shouldn't leak because your fluid is going to be lower than the fill

fluid is going to be lower than the fill

fluid is going to be lower than the fill plug so now that we've got this out of

plug so now that we've got this out of

plug so now that we've got this out of there yeah now we got a nice little
