Default Changing front differential oil, help!
ok, went to change all the fluids at 110,000. HOW do you get the fill bolt off the front differential. There is no access with the steering sensor in the way. This should NOT be this hard. Even cut down an Allen wrench and cannot get it into there! Thanks for any help for this DIYer.

Can you access from the side with the front wheel off then use an Allen wrench socket with extension? I have RWD btw so I'm guessing.

No it is fairly centered, not near any access via wheel removal. Thanks
