Lubricant Level Check (8.6 Inch Axle)

Lubricant Level Check (8.6 Inch Axle)





- Remove the rear axle fill plug.
- Fabricate a dipstick from a pipe cleaner or similar item. Form the pipe cleaner into an "L".
- Insert the pipe cleaner into the fill plug opening with the stem facing down.
- Remove the pipe cleaner and measure the distance from the bend in the pipe cleaner to the lubricant level.
- The distance between the bend and the lubricant level should be 15 - 40 mm (0.6 - 1.6 inch).

If the measurement is greater than 40 mm (1.6 inch), add lubricant until the level is between 15 - 40 mm (0.6 - 1.6 inch) from the bottom edge of the fill plug hole.
