Just have a question for the SPF owners here concerning changing the gear lube in the rear end. My car has the Ford 8.8 rear end, and of course, no drain plug, so the lube has to either be sucked out of the housing or the cover has to be removed. I would prefer to remove the cover because it not only will drain more completely, but it gives me a chance to inspect things. The question is, can the cast cover be removed by just removing the frame mounting bracket ? It looks like there may not be enough clearance between the cover and the frame for the cover to clear the ring gear. Has anyone here done it ?
