04 Jeep Liberty 6cyl 3.7 how to change differential fluid?

Place a pan under the diff. unbolt the perimeter bolts on the diff cover. Remove the cover. You might have to take a blade and run it around the crack between the cover and the diff. housing. This will break the gasket material. Clean the gasket material from the mating surfaces off. Allow all the fluid to drain out. Now you can either go get a gasket (if you can even find one) or use the orange or black permetex gasket maker. Run this around the cover and make a circle around the bolt openings. Just dont get the gasket material in the bolt holes or the bolts wont go all the way back in. Then replace the bolts and torque them. Open the filler hole and refill the fluid to the bottom of the hole. If some comes out that is ok. Hope this helps you. Good luck.
