96 Blazer Differential fill ?

lizardqing · #1 01-16-2005, 05:54 PM

Hey everyone. I had to change the seal on my rear differential today, got it back together and all no problem. My problem came when I needed to fill the fluid back up, I can't find a plug anywhere to take out. All I could find is a hose running from the top of the pumpkin to the side of the truck. I tried takeing that hose off and filling through the nipple there but that prooved to be a big mess. Any ideas? Thanks.

There is a plug...just keep looking.

It is on the side, near the top.

Thanks. But is it on the side where the vacum hose is or the other side? I looked all over and can't seem to find one. Probally go right to it tommorow.

Look on the front right side near the top. It has a 3/8 female square plug, it is almost flush with the casting.

I don't remember which side the vent hose is on, but I think the plug is on the passenger side.

Ok guys, thanks. Wound up finding it after all. Now just got to get it loose.
