that looks great. that is on my 'next-to-do' list. in fact i just cleaned the grime off this evening in preparation.

did you do anything other than replace seals? and paint?

any suggestions? i was planning on merely unbolting everything and having a look-see and clean the casting.

i used plain 90 weight gear oil on my other standard diff with no problems.

it looks like ill have to build a tool to do so.

They just pop out. Use a prybar or picklefork with a little force.

i filled mine up with Redline 75W90 gear oil. i'm running the same diff as you and it's been fine. i think it only took one bottle to fill, but it took every last drop.
