Thread: Removing axle from tranny, leakage?

plain and simple just do it the right way and stop half assing stuff because its not worth it

Working on the side of the curb :P.

Anyways, I'll see if I can find the filler-cap. Or just pour it into the hole where the speedo is mounted?

Should be all the info you'll ever need.

Really? Because I used all 4 quarts of my shockproof heavy to fill up the tranny...

EDIT: And oh yeah, we live in AMERICA, use the standard system

Das wat my FSM sez.

I'm not, I'm from Europe.

And a whole lot of countries use the metric system :P. Only Great Britain and USA don't :P.

Anyways, the Axle thread lacks pics

What kind of sealant do I need? And how big is that wrench for the oil drain plug?

You don't really need any sealant, but some Grey RTV for the drain plug isn't a bad idea.
The drain plug basically uses a 1/2" (12.7mm) drive socket wrench. It is a square drive with 13mm sides to the square but the 1/2" drive works quit well over and over again.

The fill/check plug is freakin' crazy. It is not a 3/8" (9.525mm) square drive like most people think. It is a 10mm square hole. Usually a 3/8" square socket drive wrench will work, but quickly that will ruin the hole because it is slightly too large. Some people like to wrap the 3/8" drive in a strip of aluminum from a cut up soda can to make up the difference. Others like me got sick of that and bought this: NISsport 10mm Gearbox Fill Plug Tool

But it seems to be discontinued. =(

Okay, thanks.

One last thing, apparently, there's this bearing in the tranny that's supposed to give me some headache, any toughts?

Yah, and wutz wit doz nm thingys in da FSM? I dont get it

God that hurt my brain to type out



Don't worry, was an intentional joke I'm a believer in the metric system vs. the imperial system.
