Alternate way to fill diff/tranny fluid?

Hey everyone, I can’t remove the fill bolt for the differential/transmission, even after using PB Blaster and a breakerbar (i’m on the ground so i can’t manuever too much). I’m afraid of rounding off the bolt (it’s already started too slightly), or snapping the head off.

Anyone know of another way to fill the transmission, or suggestions on how to get the fill bolt off? I’ve already drained the old oil, so I have to refill it now.

I tried another search option and found this thread: http://www.g2ic.com/forums/showthread.php?t=110318&highlight=fill+bolt

I’m going to try to fill through the vent hole instead. If anyone has other suggestions and ideas, please post! :smiley:

O so you found my post lol. Anyways I just filled it though the vent hole, I bought a thing from shucks that screws on your oil bottle and has a long tube with a nozzle on it, I just put it in the hole and swqeezed the bottle. You will need to find somthing similar becasue just a funnel will take flipping forever, you need to have some pressure behind it for it to get through the small hole…

You could also fill it through the speedo housing, but just make sure you get the right amount back in there.

what happens if you over fill?

Seals could start blowing out and leaks could start.

Isnt that what the breather cap is for? To relieve pressure and excess fluid, I over filled mine once and fluid was coiming out of that breather for a few days afterwards…

I would like to know if there are truly dangers of overfilling though, bucause I have a leaky tranny and overfill on purpose just to compensate for the leaks lol
