Draining front differential CJ3B
 

Is there a drain hole somewhere on the bottom of front differential? I can
only find the fill plug mid way up the cover. If that's it, how do you
change the fluid?

Thanks.

They figured you like the smell and feel of old gear oil so you have to
pull off the cover to change the fluid.

It is a good idea anyway so you can get any dirt and gunk out.

Thanks for the advice, Mike. Looks like a fairly easy job. It's been sitting
for 30 years so no telling what's living in there.

Of course, there is a drain plug on your Real Jeep:

It's recessed, use a half inch drive on it.
