Hi Bill,
Ooops....ya got me. I guess I should've looked at the "B"
schedule.....figured the original poster was like a lot of Jeep owners
in that they rarely, if ever, take their ride off into the boonies.
Thanks for the info :-)

Mike, you are right - I have never taken the Jeep in the
boonies...yet. I changed the differential fluids just to be safe, and
for the experience. I opened up the front axle cover, cleaned, sealed
using rtv selant, and refilled. However, for the rear axle, the spare
wheel was coming in the way so I tried the easy way out - I sucked out
the fluid through the drain plug and refilled via a tube screwed on
the fluid bottle - even then the process is tedious - the fluid takes
forever to come out of the bottle.
Thanks all for your comments.

I have been changing axle lub for over 30 years by loosen the cover
bolt enough to let fluid drain out and then retorquing them. I have
had no trouble with any of them leaking. Sure, you can remove cover
completely if you want to but 99% of the time there is no need too. I
have done this 3 times to wifes Cherokee so far and no leaks even
today.

I prefer to take the cover all the way off. Then you can get the
magnet out and see what kinda shavings are on it.
