Default Dana 44 Drain Plug

Last summer I remember reading a post about where you can buy a templete and a drain plug for the Dana 44 rear end. I have looked everywhere and can not find it again. Does anyone have any information on this? Also can anyone tell me what points need to be greased on the rear suspension? I am thinking about my baby again and getting her out of the garage. Thanks in advance Wayne

The regular Mail Order places (MAM, Eckler's, etc.) carry the Dana drain plug kit.
I don't believe there are ANY grease zerks on the rear of the C4. Front, yes, but I've never noticed any on the rear.

That kit is a rip off. If you give me about a day I'll measure and tell you just where to drill and tap. Should cost under $10 for a good 1/8" pipe tap and plug. PM me tomorrow evening and remind me.

That would be awesome. God, pumping that thing out from the top is such a PITA. I can never tell if I got it all, either
