After looking in the owners manual and a Chilton's manual I can not
find a way to drain the fluid out of the front diff.
I see a rubber tube coming out of a large plastic fitting on the drivers side of the diff housing,
which runs up close to the side of the radiator under the hood, with a cap on the end.
I think is a fill tube.
This large plastic fitting (about 2" in dia) has a hex shape just inside where the tube exits.
Question?
Do you take the tube off and put a wrench or socket to the hex and unscrew the plastic fitting
and draw the fluid out?
Thanks for any help

P.S. Did a little smelt fishing in Brunswick ME. Had to go off road for about 1/4 Mi in 1 foot of snow
and the burb made it in and out. She slipped a little on a small grade but kepted it in 4 LOW 1 St
and out we came. Kind of suprised me.
