Hi all,
New to the forum, just picked up my first foxbody. It had a blown diff, so I replaced it no sweat(except losing one of the axle retainers for about an hour) and I go to pull the fill plug and the thing is nearly impossible to get a good angle on without dropping the axle it seems. I have an 8.8" that I'm swapping in as soon as I get it home, but I need to fill this 7.5" with fluid to get it there! Any advice? How much does it hold? Was thinking about filling through the axle vent.
Thank you!
