    9 inch ford rear

     



    I have what seems to me an old 9inch ford rear end in my chev
    pro street car..In removing the third member I noticed that there
    was no actual drain plug...The only plug found was a 3/8 plug
    located on the driver side of rear end. Does this sound like an
    old case to you? I did drain it by loosing all the bolts. One other
    question. I would assume to refill it I will need a sucuction type
    gun and fill it until it begins to come out the hole. Am I
    right or wrong...any help out there would be much appreciated.
    thanks r dobbs

    You can fill it with the squeesable quart containers the lube comes in

    You can also put the lube in thru one side before you install the axle

    I used a turkey baster to fill mine. It did take a while, and I did get some major grief from my wife............. but I also didn't spill any(gear oil is the one automotive odor that I cannot stand!!).

    Just to expand for those that might be interested, the sulphur is part of the EP (extreme pressure) additive, known as sulphur-phosphorus, the most common automotive gear lube EP additive. As for viscosity grading, gear oil uses a different numerical spec than engine oil but as far as actual viscosity rating, SAE 90 gear oil and SAE 40 engine oil fall within essentially the same rate of flow.

    i like the smell of gear oil when it smells really bad is when someone took out a stern drive gear set. you pop the upper bearing cap off the stern drive and that would make you blow chunks
