PTU fluid change frustration

[SHOnUup]

Of extension used...or where I went in at...very easy to get to with wobble extension....bought from O'Reilly's...

Thanks! Stopping on my way home. Get any fluid yet?

 

[SHOnUup]

Just loosened bolt...cable guy just showed an hour early. ..wtf...that never happens

 

[SHOnUup]

Before

After wipe

Looks like mine did. How many miles are you at?

 

[SHOnUup]

35k

 

[SHOnUup]

Lifetime fluid...lmao

 

[SHOnUup]

Pic from underneath with plug out. Looks as if it was leaking some how, but the said look of fluid is at opening and upward ?

 

[SHOdded]

If there is a vent tube atop the unit, could have been fluid coming out of there down the side.

 

[wasinger3000]

I don't see any leak. Have you managed to get any oil out yet?

 

[SHOnUup]

Almost.

 

[SHOnUup]

That hole would be easier to work with if there was some hair around it...lol

 

[SHOdded]

Almost.

Dang, that fluid's coming along SLOW! 

 

[Brucelinc]

Almost.

What are you using for a pump/suction tool?

 

[SHOnUup]

Very slow. About to cut hoses to size and see if that helps...maybe 4oz so far.

 

[SHOnUup]

Doesn't help having to hold cable guys hand through his job. Maybe he'd like to crawl under the SHO.

 

[Brucelinc]

While doing this with everything hot might invite burned fingers but the lube would probably flow better. 

 

[SHOnUup]

It's cold...tempted to just get a bendy straw and suck this crap out...maybe 6 oz and slowly counting...at a point where I'm just filling lines then pulling it out and emptying lines....patience is required for this task....to the guys who did it in 15 minutes, I salute you...at this point it might be the 1 finger salute

After cutting length of tubes on siphon pump I have slow drip...small battle just won
