I have a 9" rear end I want to POR15 and cleanup. I noticed there is no drain plug for the fluid change. How is this done? This came off a 1979 Ford Truck. Is there anything I need to check?

That's correct, no drain plug. If you want to drain/change, you have to pop the axles and third member loose. The only convenient part is that most stock axles have a hole drilled in the wheel flange so you can run a socket through for the end cap nuts. PITA, but hey, It's a 9-inch...

Exactly what I was thinking....too bad it's not going on the mustang. Thanks.
