Alan,
How many bits did you go through? And wouldn't the swarf be dropping down to
the floor and not be pushed into the diff casing? I would think that the
ensuing draining of oil would force any swarf that might have made it inside
the casing out, and the magnetic plug I'd insert would take care of any
remaining flecks. Is my reasoning flawed on this count?
Thanks for the reply.
Best wishes,
Jeff

Jeff, I recently added a drain plug, It was relatively easy but then I
did take the diff out the car, split it apart and had access to a drill
press to do it. Not sure if I would do it under the car. There was a
fair amount off swarf created and I would not want that inside my diff.
