Questions & AnswersHi, I'm Doug. I work with 20 great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. O.k. Dan is going to remove the retaining nuts on the differential gear carrier where the studs come out of the axle housing. He's got an oil pan close by. There's gear lube in there. A couple of the nuts you can't get to with an impact so he's got a wrench going on some of those. But there's gear lube inside there. As soon as you pull that carrier free, it's going to blurp oil all over the place. So he won't be standing under it and he'll have a pan under it when he finally pulls that loose there. So there you go with the oil coming out. The oil is coming out nice and clear because the truck has very few miles on it. We just got done building it and had just one short test drive before we noticed the differential leak.
