Question is: when changing out the axles does the diff need to be drained first?
I have watched a couple of videos and no fluid came out of the diff when the axle was pulled out, and nothing was mentioned about draining the diff, but I know that these YouTube videos do not always show everything that is done.
Just thought I would ask before I do the replacement as I would rather not drain the diff fluid out if I do not have to.
