Anyone know when the mechanics open?

Does anyone know when the majority of mechanics are back to work?

I have a fairly loud whine coming from rear diff and suspect its low on diff oil and unfortunately dont have the tool to take off the filler bolt.

Need to head up to Queenstown in the near future but dont think its good for the car to drive with no diff fluid

[Mr. Mainstream]

what tool do you need to remove the filler bolt?
is it one of those square type ones?
if so may just be a 3/4 square, just give a go with what tools you have.
get foreign objects involved if need be

diffs dont like being lubed with air

Yea, already broke 2 ratchets trying to get the thing undone, have tried everything in the garage

Did you break them by using consent force, ive done that a few times, the best way From my experience is to tap them off, seized nuts im meaning, with a rubber hammer or something

Rachets are for undoing things once they have been cracked loose. A breaker bar is what you're supposed to use to undo tight things It's no wonder you have 2 broken rachets

Yep, ratchet snapped and my fist hit the diff full pelt

Tried that but didnt work, think ill just leave it to the mechanic, will get a trans fluid change aswell.

Was making do with what i had, might go and get a breaker bar tomorrow and give it another go.

Just use the right tools. Majority of mechanics would be back wednesday I'm back Wednesday - Friday then off for the stat days and back on the 5th after that

[Brawler]

Its just a diff anyway, i highly dout its gonna break anytime soon

[celica_xr9145]

went and bought a breaker bar. Got the bolt undone and was almost dry, filled it up with fluid and it still whines so i think the damage is done. Not sure how long its been running dry for
