I have an extremely annoying case of gear whine from my rear end, that is driving me absolutely crazy. I live in an apt, and have absolutely no tools. I figured an easy fix would be swapping the rear end fluid with some friction modifier and Royal Purple gear oil. Will I have to remove the cover to drain, or can I suck it out with a pump? This is for a 03 Cobra with IRS. If you would be willing to help, I would be willing to pay. I live in Virginia Beach. We can either go to the hobby shop on Oceana, or meet you at your house. Thanks for the help.

You'll need to suck it out with a pump because unless you remove the IRS you can't get to the top bolts on the diff cover.

I just had it done at the local dealer since I've already removed the IRS once in a driveway and I'm not doing it again.

Well that's good to know, thank you. Never realized how little room there was to work on anything with Cobra. I have a MotoBlu IRS Brace, will I have to remove that to get to the drain plug? Or is it on the left side?

I have the billet flow brace and they didn't have to remove to get to the plug

Where is the fill plug on the cover? I have been looking at pics, and can't find it.

Rear end fluid swap, eh?

Rear differential fluid replacement. Pumpkin innards upkeep. 8.8 gear oil replacement. Whatever you want to call it. Just don't feel like dropping the IRS to do it.
