Which Plug on Diff? - 28/03/05 05:16 PM
Decided to drain and fill the diffs on my 4x4 X this evening. I started with the rear, removed the top plug first (as recommended), then the bottom plug (it's draining as I type).
The fill plug (top one) had a magnet on it, the draing plug (bottom one) did not. I would think it would be beneficial to have the magnet on the bottom (drain) plug. Is that correct?
I did a search here and looked (briefly) through the service manual and didn't find any references.
Anyone else? Let me know before I put the things back in. If I don't get a definitive answer in the next hour or two, I'll reassemble in the same fashion.
