Yah. Just buy that, it's self explanatory. I put a copper crush washer on the plug. Don't over torque it

I didn't the first time, 21 foot pounds LOL.
AWD bolt first then front diff.

Thinking back it was difficult to get the front diff drain bolt to turn after the first 3/4 turn, then got easier after 1.5 turns. Anyhow I have it patched up with some epoxy waiting for China Post to arrive.

I bought a kit from China on eBay. I did it in the car. It was my first time, and it was simple.

I was worried about the swarf or burrs going into the box, I supose you can have a vacum cleaner near and handy ? Nice to know it can be done whislt in the car though, I'll buy mine from ebay aswell.

I ran a lot of oil through to wash it out. Filter it with a coffee filter. Do it again. Until totally clean.

Cover in vaseline and it will catch most of the shavings.
