CLEANS OUT AXLE GREASE
How can the old grease be removed from the differential housing without taking the rear axle
apart?
To clean out the old oil and grease from the differential housing, use the long nozzle of a
grease gun to get out most of the grease. Then squirt some kerosene into the housing and run
axle a few seconds to wash down the rest of the grease. Draw out the kerosene-thinned grease
with the grease gun. Repeat with kerosene, if necessary.
If no grease gun is available, remove left rear wheel and the outer roller bearing from axle
shaft. Allow the axle housing to rest on the ground and jack up the right rear wheel. This will
tilt the axle housing at a sufficient inclination so that kerosene, poured into the filler opening,
will wash out most of the dirty oil and grease.
