Mit dem gestern gekauften Fließfett für Getriebe mache ich mich heute an die Arbeit am Differential. Beim Autozubehörhändler habe ich noch eine Handpumpe besorgt um das alte Öl abzupumpen.
With the transmission fluid grease I bought yesterday, I set to work on the differential today. At the car accessories dealer I still got a hand pump to pump out the old oil.
Die Pumpe ist notwendig, da das Differential nur eine Einfüllöffnung, aber keine Ablassöffnung hat. Diese ist schnell geöffnet und die Pumpe in Position gebracht.
The pump is necessary because the differential has only one filler opening, but no drain opening. This is quickly opened and the pump is brought into position.

Das Öl hat viel Abrieb von Buntmetall. Damit ich weiß, wieviel Fett ich danach einfüllen muss, messe ich noch die Menge des entnommenen alten Öls. Es sind 0,4 Liter.
The oil has a lot of abrasion from non-ferrous metal. So that I know how much grease I have to fill in afterwards, I still measure the amount of the removed old oil. It is 0.4 liters.

Damit ich das Fett besser durch die Einfüllöffnung bekomme, mache ich es in heißem Wasser etwas flüssiger.
To help me get the grease through the filler hole, I make it a little more liquid in hot water.

Das heiße Fett lässt sich ohne weitere Hilfsmittel gut in das Differential einbringen. Einfach die Öffnung des Beutels auf die Einfüllöffnung des Differential drücken und das Fett hineinpressen. Am Ende habe ich 40g zuviel Fett in das Differential gemacht. Das sollte aber OK sein. Das Fett hat ha gegenüber dem Öl den Vorteil, dass es eben nicht so leicht durch die Achse zu den Bremstrommeln gelangt.
The hot grease can be easily inserted into the differential without any further aids. Simply press the opening of the bag on the filler opening of the differential and press the grease inside. In the end, I put 40g too much grease into the differential. But that should be OK. The grease has ha advantage over the oil that it just does not get through the axle to the brake drums so easily.
