I'm sure this is listed some where alley but have been unable to locate it. How does a person go about changing the differential grease ? mine is slinging grease on the underneath side of the rear fenders and on the frame and here in south Tx. were already getting into the 100's, it was 102 here yesterday.
Thanks

Dragon,
That is changing the TRANNY OIL.
Kalee is asking about the DIFFERENTIAL, anyway KALEE.

You do not change the GREASE in the DIFFERENTIAL you just add grease. Look on the DIFERENTIAL you should see a GREASE NIPPLE on it.

Also get DIFFERENTIAL GREASE that is RATED OVER 240 so it does not LIQUIDIFY with low temps that will help and stop some of the grease becomeing liquid and sipping out and flung out.

Here is the GREASE NIPPLE ON THE DIFFERENTIAL:

Here is a very high Temp rated grease for very hot areas:

There are TWO MOTOR MOUNTS at the rear they should be tight.

Then there is 1 LONG BOLT going through TWO FRAME BRACKETS
and the MOTOR MOUNTS ARE IN THE MIDDLE and the LONG BOLT goes through all FOUR and that ALSO SHOULD BE TIGHT.

This is the bolt I was talking about that fastens the motor to the swing arm

[kalee]

Bygolly alley I think I got it this time, this bolt was there but it wasnt tight but it is now, I have checked everything in and around the rear end and found several bolts that was not snug. What I call snug is using the right sized metrc wrench and pulling them tight by hand as tight as I can get them.

FANTASTIC!! Now you can put up pictures all day long(HAHA).

Yea none of the bolts back there should be loose also the motor mounts they all should be tight.
Good Job
