Default How easy to replace gearbox oil????

Ok, Ive ordered my gearbox oil, Ive got the ramps, the gloves, and the bucket, and the dark glasses so, how easy is it to drop the oil from the gearbox and re-fill it???? Any special tools required apart from a socket set????

Cheers

Nope - easy peasy. Refilling is the trickiest bit - make sure you have a good funnel

and pour it in slowly on the 5 speeds, as they can get air locked and bubble back at you, and spill oil down the side of the box.

Its far quicker to pour the oil in slowly
