    Is there a easy way to do this? Or do I need to remove the whole rear axle?

    Need to clean it to see if its leaks and refill it..

    You really need to lower the rear axle slightly for clearance

    Okey, because I have looked and saw two or more bolts on the top side of the diff… those need to be removed and I cant really understand how without removing the whole thing.

    But I may just change the oil and see what I can do next year…

    Will try to make diy guides when I come around to removing things..

    yes, you can remove it whilethe axle is still on the car :) its a bit tight, but with some elbowgrease and a few well placed curse-words you will get it of :)

    I’ve been reading this and thinking what they on about, then I remember I got a country so having the room to remove the diff isn’t a problem……just saying.[:D]
