couple of rookie questions

[babyburb]

1. While putting my front drive shaft back in I put the 203 in neutral so I could turn it to tighten the ujoint bolts, the 203 sounds very needing of some fluid. WHere do I drain it/fill it and what kind of fluid do I need to pick up.

2. What is the best way, besides taking the burb to its frame, can I clean off 32 years of oil, dirt, and road grime from my tranny, transfer case, and all the the levers and lines going to and fro.

This might be why I had to ask question number 1, I can't find the hole. I tried a little flour and rolling it around looking for the wet spot but to no availe!

on mine i just took out one of the bottom bolts on that cover in front of the front output shaft. and to fill it there should be a little spout thing that faces upwards in the middle

the way i used to do it was i took it to my work and put it on a lift and got under there with a set of swimming trunks and a pressure washer

If your case looks anything like mine does it might need some of that spray on engine degreaser stuff
