Powertrain / Under The Hood • Re: PTU Drain & Fill

This is a job I have been putting off since it looks like a pain. I did not know you could access the fill hole from the Pass side wheel well. that is new info. Do you have an EB? also, do mean a 3 foot long extension? I don't think i have one that long.

Thanks!, good info

Yes mine is an EB. I had the wheels off since I was also doing the struts and shocks, so it was really easy to get to the plug. Yes, I used a 3' long extension. If you piece 3 12" ones together, you might be able to reach it, but the wobbling between the three may make it unstable enough to get a good grip on the nut. The extension is one I bought back in the 90's when I was working as a mechanic pulling transmissions out of RWD cars. I think this is the first time I had a use for it since.
