<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BoxCarKidd, post: 10616739, member: 151415&quot;]Interesting as the odd bolt always struck me as odd. Never considered or looked to see if if could be a drain.</p><p>&nbsp; Personally I thank worrying about changing oil in the hubs is overkill for a differential oil change normally.</p><p>On the other hand we had a truck come in that required the power divider to be locked in order to move.</p><p>Truck delivered the load and came to the shop, all within 40 miles. It had a destroyed front diff. Metal shavings were at the hub ends. We jacked up enough to relieve pressure from the hub and removed the outer bearing. Cleaned out the hub cavity as best we could and filled it with oil. Loosely installed bearing, jacked it up and adjusted bearing. Put it all back together and filled diff with oil through the vent hole on top. When oil started to run out the fill plug installed plug. Then added two more quarts. This procedure has worked for me many times and was taught be good old Joe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
