LR3 Differential and Transfer Box Services?

[TexasTJ]

So I have the fluids and I have watched some you tube on it, but dose any on have any good advice for this service on you back with the truck in off road height? I was going to do this last weekend but a front hub go in the way.

Thank for any help especially with the front diff and the little fill hole the give you to work with.

This guide should help you if you doing it on the driveway.
I had access to a mates 2 poster ramp for doing it, was done in under 10 mins for front and rear. It may be an option worth considering, i know i can hire out a garage ramp for £20 an hour if needed. Does something similar exist where you live?

Remember to crack off the "fill" plug first. Avoids the unlikely issue of the drain plug coming out but the fill plug not, leaving a empty diff..

Ignore the fuel filter stuff unless you want to change that as well while you are under the car. I have no idea if the petrol filter differs from the diesel filter shown in the guide.

Makes life a lot easier filling diffs/gearboxes

just did mine a month ago, used this pump http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BQW5LK to transfer directly from oil container, after measuring of course.
And that's the other thing, make sure you pump the correct amount in the diff, as the refill is by a certain volume, not "fill to line".

this transfer case, though, is "fill until fluid reaches the fill hole."
