Hi im a new member & im going to try and service my 1996 4lt chim.Could anyone tell if there is a special tool or easy way to change diff & gearbox oils?

Regards Jim

To do the Diff oil and gearbox oil it's easier to whip the exhaust off which will also give you access to the propshaft for greasing. Makes changing the fuel filter easier too.
No specialist tools required use your 3/8ths socket ratchet to undo the filler caps. Then fill to overflowing and allow to drain, then refit the caps.
You may need an oil filter tool to get the filter off if it's tight.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Paul.
