All you need is a socket wrench (extension helps, but not required), a pan to collect the old fluid in and the new fluid. It's easier than changing the oil.

If you take the cover off for the full cleaning, I reccomend getting the Lube Locker seal vs. using RTV. Yes it costs a little more, about $15 per diff, but it's super easy and will last a long time and handle a lot of abuse.

Local dealer in Concord, NH wants $220 per axle. Do they think we're all stupid or what?

The dealer will use Mopar Synthetic.
Royal Purple synthetic, Mopar Synthetic, and Lucas Synthetic gear oils all when tested, rated worse than Castrol, Pennzoil, and Valvoline dino gear oils.!!!!!!!

Got it back today and the line item on the receipt indicated that they did indeed put new diff fluid in the front after replacing the seal. Hehe... $135 worth of diff fluid charged to the warranty!
