Rear Differential Oil Change Question

[M-ManLA]

Ok I will attempt to change my rear diff oil this weekend. Here is a list I had compiled. Let me know if I am missing anything.

75w-90 Synthetic Gear Lubricant
New Camaro 10 bolt Gasket
Brake Cleaner

Now I know someone says to use brake cleaner, but what do I have to clean? Also any suggestions will be appreciated.

You need brake cleaner to clean the diff cover.

if you have a posi rear you need the additive or itll make noises.

Generally the synthetic comes w/ the additive but you should check anyway. I have heard of people gaskets leaking, you might look into the "right stuff" it's a gasket maker that cures fairly quick.

Ok good info.

Some RTV Gasket maker, and i would reccomend a good putty knife or a small wire wheel that attaches to a drill.
Makes the old gasket removal alot easier..
