I just took my truck to the shop to have this done thinking/expecting this was what they were going to do. The mechanic took off the cover not realizing that it wouldn't come out of there. They mechanic and owner were stymied for a while but realizing they didn't have an option getting it out at that point. They were able to twist and turn and pivot it in some way that it actually came out. I told him he should have videoed it to post so they would become KZitem famous for how to do it. I wish I had seen it. He showed me a photo with the cover off and nothing else had been removed from all the steering assembly.

That’s how I got mine off and back on. You can rotate it enough to get it off without removing the steering rack. I’d recommend a gasket rather than RTV for the reinstallation. RTV got everywhere (still sealed though) and I will end up swapping to a gasket next time I do the job.

Thanks for posting this, this is the last fluid needing service on my 06 scab, just bought a fluid extractor for the trans service so my garage didn't look like a slaughter house from the pan drop. Looks like another wise tool purchase I made, as it can do this too. Had 3 bolts that i had to fight coming out on the trans pan, 12 years with roadsalt and no antiseize on the bolts, even impact wouldn't move them, had to fight them by hand forward and reverse with aerokroil, what a job!! Had to buy a tap to repair threads in trans case.

Just tried this, and while it wasn’t bad, it is much more difficult with the truck on level ground (rather than on jackstands or a lift). There is not much space to get under the truck to access the differential. Next time, I’ll put all four corners up on jackstands. The 20 minutes it will take to jack up the truck will save at least an hour. Also, warming the new gear lube (I set the bottles in a tub of hot water) makes pumping the lube into the differential much easier. Another great video, though. Thanks!

Once I got the cover off and cleaned it up, I ground the lip on the top corner on the drivers side about 1/2 way down to make it easier to put back up. It`s better to take it off and get all that crud out of there. It worked for me and thought I would pass it along. I have a 2012 Raptor.

I've just completed my 1st attempt to change the fluid in mine. Working on the floor of my garage with the truck on rams and jack stands. I attempt the removal of the fluid with a 1.5 liter manual extractor, it did not go well. In Brian's video it showed him moving the front wheel slightly to facilitate the insertion of a small diameter tube. I was not able to get mine tube in properly and consequently was only able to extract about 700-800 mils. I would recommend the truck be off the ground so front wheels can be moved also the use of an air driven extractor be used as well. There's no gain if there ain't any pain,cheers.

Great info. Husband just got me a2022 Expedition Timberline. I told them I needed a fresh oil change and all fluids topped off/checked before purchasing. (The dealership had it for 8-9 months and put 2,200 miles on it) Talking with the maintenance manager he said either 100 or 150k for the differential. I called it out “that is after our warranty ends” and the first oil change was done at almost 8,500 miles. I worked on cars with me Dad since I was a kid. Still keeping my 2022 Santa Fe (last car I worked on with him before he passed away unexpectedly). Husband knows I’m going to take care of this vehicle and do services (bring it in while under warranty till 2030) to keep the engine performing well.

changing the oil in the 3.5EB has got to be the most annoying oil change I've done out of about 12 different vehicles I maintain. I HATE doing an oil change on it, but what I did to make it slightly more tolerable is remove the oil drain plug bolt and replace with a Fumoto oil drain valve. You can then route flexible plastic tubing from the nipple of the Fumoto into a drain pan. It takes 3x longer to drain that way, but you won't have oil splashed on EVERYTHING if you had simply removed the drain bolt. Now.....reaching up feeling and spinning off the oil filter and hoping it drains in the "tray" is the 2nd joke of the oil change procedure. I usually take 3 valiums and wash it down with a shot of whiskey before doing an oil change also.

I have a 2014 FX4. Ican't get anything to go down to the bottom of the diff. There is something right up against the lower half of the fill hole. I drove forward a bit, and also engaged 4H and drove a few feet but whatever is there has not moved at all. I don't want to take that cover off! Any ideas?

Hey Marty, try a smaller hose. I was so annoyed I couldn't get my hose to fit, also I had to go at an almost up angle a bit before it turned and went back down. Get you a smaller hose and you will be able to wiggle it in there. I also tried moving it a few feet to ensure it wasn't a bolt. But the smaller hose did the trick. Probably half inch outer diameter or less

Why can't we just loosen the bottom bolts on diff itself? Preserving a gasket I suppose? I know this is probably a stupid question, but having never actually done any diff work, I am curious. Love the channel FTM!!

Hey brian my name is wesley I absolutely love it channel and all ur videos. I accidentally put 5 pumps worth of transfer case fluid in my front differential instead of gear oil 😪😪 . Would you completely drain the front differential and put all new gear oil in or leave it be. Plz help I'm thinking of just draining and refilling with new gear oil. Thanks again

@@BrandonWest87 thank you. i actually went and checked out two pet stores and while they did have some narrow tubing there, it was very soft, not like the plastic piece in the video. BUT, what I did end up getting is an empty quart sized spray bottle from walmart for $1.30 and used the tube inside it for the end plastic piece. its pretty sturdy and fits the hose of the pump. i haven't tried it yet on the front diff, but it will most likely work.

Hi really glad to find your channel this time around with the F-250. Could you tell me on a 2008 f-250 if the front diff acts the same as F-150 without the passive spinning? or is it always spinning? My Dad just got a 350 dollar quote to flush his out asap because it spins regardless of being in 4wd? Either way I'm gonna top it up next week, drain it first if i can and theres any left. On its last legs anyways.. Thanks for your video, Im hoping the drain plus came off with just a 3/8 drive socket!
