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.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

well I decided to do another mod to gain max travel of bars past the intended travel points just for that peace of mind. 1/8 inch is to close so now I'll have 1/2" or better. I cut a 3/16" wall...
