I went to the faqs for info on changing out the gear lube,there isn't a drain bolt on the differential. I took out the bottom bolt, nothing came out. I stuck a peice of coat hanger wire up in the hole to see if there was an obstruction, still nothing. I then proceeded to take the bolts out to the side of the bottom bolt, still nothing. Car is 97-960 SW with rear independent susp.

I guess the gear lube is just supposed to cook like hell in there forever huh. Any one got the answer to this one I'd like to hear it.
Car runs fine, it's just knowing that there's 225k on here and the lube has never been changed sorta just sits on the back of my mind and tells me one day the rear end of this sucker is gonna go out and that will total the dang car.
All who have the idea for this, bring em on.

Oh yes- is there a way to tell which type of differential is in there by the vin #
