Greetings from Bowie, MD
I am a Corvette rookie since I just purchased a 79 vette back in November. So there is still a lot for me to know about the car. I am also a 57 Chevy and 63 Plymouth Fury guy. I hoping that I can learn a lot from the site and others. My next project is changing the differential fluid. I have the additive.
Although I have a drain plug on the 57 Chevy, I do not see one on the corvette. So am I correct in assuming that the differential housing would have to be removed to really drain the rear end well? At this point I am planning to use my suction device to remove the oil from the filler plug. That will be a bit time-consuming.
It is nice to know that this resource is available.

Welcome to the forum
. As for draining the differential fluid, you can use a pump to suck out the old fluid out, or you are going to have to remove the cover. Using a pump won't allow you to drain it completely. Good luck
