4-5 quarts (I use Mobil 1 synth) gear lube, 1 tube of RTV (The Right Stuff)
a 1/2" socket w/ 3in extension, gasket scraping utensil, and a drain pan.
just loosen all the bolts, starting at the bottom. once loose, remove all
the bolts starting from the bottom working up, leave the top 1 or 2 bolts
in. Pry from the bottom if need be, till fluid starts pouring out. Drain,
clean, inspect for broke teeth/gears (hopefully none!) Scrape the old
gasket crap off, clean with brake cleaner. Apply bead of RTV/TRS, reinstall
cover. Tighten bolts gradually working in circles around the housing. Fill
with fluid.
