[V8] How to R&R rear diff seal...& what type of fluid..75-90W????

[Ron Wainwright]

This is what I'm talking about Scott...BTDT. Mo better
than a manual ;-)
 I mine as well sell mine.....but the cost that people
are getting for these is a travesty....$150! I would
think these are comprable to the $300 cost of the
//scar manuals. But what do I know.

 & thanx Ken for the BTDT.

 But I have yet to get a RE on the weight of the fluid
I should use??
