I was wondering if someone can walk me through the procedure to change the diff fluid on my Power Wagon. I understand that it's just a remove of the cover and refill to the proper fluid level, but with all these crossmembers in front of the the covers, what tools do I need to access these bolts best? I I quickly realized that the tools I have on hand are not sufficient to reach those bolts have very low clearance to some of these cross members and also I don't have sockets deep enough for some of these either.

Easiest is to just take the sway bar off from the axle. Then ur clear to remove the cover

Just a deep well 13mm to take off the cover pan bolts and if needed for clearance I think the sway bar bolts are 15mm that holt it to the axle.

My '16 PW does not have drain plugs.

I did my front/rear at 20k miles. Nothing to it. Just look and see how any brackets attach that might be on one or two of he bolts. The gaskets are reusable. I cleaned some crud off the magnets with some q-tips and nothing else. Diff lock seems a little easier after.

The diff cover will come off without removing the sway bar.

It's been a while but just lift the cover up after all the bolts are out. I don't recall it being difficult.

Ended up removing the sway bar like folks suggested. After that it was was a breeze.
