Must have a crummy tool collection. *smiles* My flat wrench
set has a 16 mm, my 6 point deep
Parts needed:
Quart bottle of favorite gear lube
2 ft. of 5/16 or 3/8 copper tubing
1 through-the-firewall type grommet
Sharp drill bit of slightly less than the diameter necessary to fit the inside
diameter of the groove in the grommet
Cheap coil type tubing bender to fit the copper tubing

16mm wrenches to exist, but try 5/8 in SAE.

I got a bottle of Castrol that came with a pump do-hickey so you just screw on
the pump to a fresh bottle and feed the hose into the fill hole. Pump away
until you cramp up and stop when the goo begins to seep out the fill hole.
This, after spilling more than I filled on a few previous cars.
I wonder if someone replaced those bolts with 'merican hardware? Jiffy lube?
Maybe that was Chrysler's contribution, same mount / transmission is used in a
Chrysler product?

If I did differentials enough I would - that’s a great idea! I’ve already got
one garden sprayer set up as a brake system speed bleeder. While it’s really
handy when I need it, it takes up a lot of storage space.

I know there are hand pumps you can do it with, but that seems really messy
and a hassle. I would be interested to hear if anyone has a better method.
1. Buy a garden sprayer.
2. Cut the nozzle off.
3. Fill with gear lube.
4. Pressurize sprayer.
5. Squeeze trigger.
6. Fill
Wanted to drain and refill the differential on the W220 (S430) so I figured I
would do it after I got home, since the differential would be nice a toasty
from the drive. On a whim I picked up a transmission (rear engine) mount while
at the dealer today, since I keep reading about how these
