Topic: How much gear oil in dual cases?

[Jud]

I read the install guide and it sais to put 3 quarts of oil in the cases (2 for case) and (1 for adapter). That just seems like not enough gear oil to me. my front case,adapter and rear case are empty it just doesn't seem like 3 quarts will be enough. Oh and my fill plug is rounded off so i'm filling it through the shifter hole thats why I am asking this question!

dump 1 in the front case,  dump 2  in the back,  drive  then check,  you gotta get that plug OUT

Thats the way I was gonna do it. I will use an ez-out on it Monday at work! I just have to fill it because of I'm gonna run Slickrock and Deer Valley this weekend.

Weld a big nut on it instead. The heat will help loosen it.

he can't.  all 3 of his welders have no gas.

get an air hammer on the bolt head... mine was stuck beyond all hope, i welded a nut onto it, i snapped the welds..... several times.... after about 3 hours, i said ah what the heck... 10 seconds later, the air chisel broke it off

[Duffil]

he doesn't have those capabilities, otherwise it would have been off last night.  He doesn't even have a chisel.

According to the FSM a complete single takes 1.7 quarts so 3 quarts you should be fine. You can pour it all in one of the shifters, it will level itself between the two.

I will get the plug out at work Monday with the airhammer!
