FRONT AND REAR DRIVE AXLES - LUBRICANT DRAIN AND FILL PROCEDURE
LIGHT TRUCKS 1979-83 F100-350, BRONCO, E100-350, RANGER, BRONCO II
The following is the recommended procedure for draining axle lubricant from front and/or rear driving axles on all light truck models.
1. Drive the vehicle for 10-15 miles at highway speed to warm axle lubricant to operating temperature and minimum viscosity.
2. Raise the vehicle on a hoist and place a drain pan under the axle to be drained.
3. Wire brush the filler plug area of the axle housing cover or carrier assembly to prevent possible entry of dirt, rust, etc. into the axle assembly.
4. Remove the axle lubricant fill plug.
5. Using a suitable suction-type utility pump (manual or powered), drain the axle lubricant from the axle by inserting the pump suction hose through axle filler plug hole down into the lowest portion of the axle carrier housing removing all the lubricant.
6. Fill the axle housing with the specified amount and type of lubricant as shown on the following specification charts.
7. Install the filler plug and torque as shown on the following specification charts.
