Hi guys,

Okay I need some advice, I recently did the front diff oil and the transfer case oil change and all was well, no problems.

Then I got to the rear diff oil change, got the fill plug off just fine, and got the drain plug off just fine but I cannot for the life of me get either the metal hook/tube or a stiff tube into the fill hole without the fluid just ****ing back out of the fill hole as soon as I try and pump it in, it literally feels like the tube/hook hits the back of a wall as soon as it gets past the entrance hole.

I tried for about an hour all different angles and now I'm stuck! - any ideas on how to make this bastard tube go in?

I was thinking of ordering a thin super soft silicone hose but not sure if you guys have had this problem before and if so how did you solve it?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks Mantrid.
