zelda Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Hi, I'm going to change the diff oil soon but was wondering, if I wanted to replace the bushes at a later date will I have to drain the fluid again? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 No, but the diff will have to be removed to fit the bushings, so as long as you leave the stubbies in place you will not lose any fluid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zelda Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 No problem, but I think mine will be done in February so you'll maybe beat me to it. January is going to be a big month for getting service items done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) I took my car down to Kaizer Motors to get the diff bushings done, technically it's not tricky but you certainly need some muscle, patience, a press and an air saw ! Couple of ways if you weren't aware (the 'ears' are easy but the sub-frame one isn't quite as): OR http://my350z.com/forum/engine-drivetrain-and-forced-induction-diy/495887-diy-solid-diff-bushing-install-no-subframe-drop-method-no-c-clamp-either.html Edited December 31, 2016 by RobPhoboS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
