Best Answer

Some vehicles have a differential drain plug, if so then unscrew the drain plug first. If not, then move on to step 2.

1.Unscrew the differential drain plug.

2.Unbolt the differential cover. (set a bucket under the differnetail to catch the oil)

3. Get the gasket off of the differential and differential cover with a razor blade and/or whiz wheel.

4. Replace the gasket with gasket sealer and/or the new gasket.

5.Bolt the Differential cover back on.

6.Fill the differential up in the top drain until the fluid starts to overflow.

What is a rear differential service?

A rear differential service drains the rear differential housing and replaces it with new oil to help the gears turn more smoothly. You usually see them between the two axles going to the left and right of the rear wheels. The differential is what allows the tires to slow down or speed up separately so that one does not drag.

Is Differential a common type of service pack?

Differential specifies how a service pack is to be built. Differential scans an existing service pack that has already been made, scans a control computer's current state, then builds a new service pack based on the difference.It isn't an uncommon practice per se if you have a control system. However if you only have a development system you cannot use differential as a way to build your service packs.Refer back to your documentation. I also recommend the procedures from Bruce Eckel available on-line or in the book store http://www.mindviewinc.com/.
