Mike_M Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Did it a while ago and there are some threads on it...............I have a pit in my garage which is very useful as it has to be level when filling.Basically under tray off and look at the rear ot the box.2 alloy lugs oneither side............one is higher than the other and will require a M16 security spline bitUndo the higher inside one first as this is the filler and you want to make sure you can refill the box before draining it.Once that is ok, undo the outside lower one to drain the box.............when done, plug it up again and fill until oil comes out the hole. When the oil stops flowing out and is level with the fill hole, seal it up and job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
