Very helpful, hopefully you can answer but when you pulled out the axle from transmission, did fluid come out as well? I didnt see a drain pan so thought maybe it wont leak any
I unbolted the differential bearing retainer (metal disc around the axle with 6 bolts) when removing my driver side cv and one of the bolts snapped going back in and fluid leaked out while driving. I reseated it and tightened down the other 5 to spec. Doesn’t seem to be leaking. Should I just leave it? How fucked am I?
5:00 basically I pried between the retainer and the transmission box instead of between the axle and the retainer. I did it gently and from multiple points because I was worried of damaging the aluminum mating surface.
My my anxiety is going crazy dude got the brake caliper just dangling
